| Articles: Losing Faith, Corrupted Hope |

Its taken me a long time to actually come up with a good enough reason to voice up. By nature I'm one of those people that stays in the background watching everyone else make mistakes or triumph and take the glory while merely sighing and shaking my head at those whom don't deserve it. By this I speak more often than not of the people that have taken things such as the war too seriously and have brought it on our own home turf. Though I read in the newspaper everyday about people fighting, its the articles I read about people fighting other people without a real reason why that hurt the most.
It comes down to people finding every little detail as an excuse to either condemn or harm another person just because they have a different background. The racist comments and otherwise placed ego-injury done by many of us as people against people who may very well be bystanders in a world of controversy are at the head of this discussion. More than once I've stalked down the streets, dressed from head to toe in black, hair loose and with only a touch of makeup to grace my lips, highlight my eyes and offer a bit of color to my otherwise bland and pale features. But more than once on the same occasions I've heard the whispers. Freak, Satanist, Devil Worshipper, or Devil Wannabe are just some among a stream of accusations I've heard. And yet I've never once given anyone any reason to think that.
Its one reason I despise my father's parents. My grandparents, If I should call them that, on his side were two of the first to injure me in pride and hope that this world wasn't as evil as I thought it was. They told my true grandparents. Those that raised me, to stand out on the front porch on Halloween and "beg for my soul to come back". Why? Because I decked out fully in the Black Wardrobe I so love complete with the white face paint and black lipstick to enjoy an evening of time to myself with a few trusted friends running around downtown as a VTM Troupe. Because I dressed as a Vampire, I was marked automatically as a satan worshipper, by my own family.
Outraged and hurt immensely I'd reclused for much of my life up until I met another with the same interests I had. He was a very close and adored friend, as all of you are now ('specially Dev and Dolorosa =P) however, because of the mere fact that people can be so cruel it makes me ashamed of the times we live in. One question I have to ask and I want the honest truth. Do any of you believe the world will at some time change? Or do you like me, think its a lost cause?

this post totally moved me to reply, because like you say i am one of those people who stand in the background and watch. But I had to answer your ? and i have to say sadly i think its a lost cause sometimes theres a glimmer o hope but the corruption of governments the effect of globalization and the greed of capatalists (how often do you hear about rape, child molesters and murders and very really hear anything positive through news media) all over the world cosume any and everything that may redeem the human race, sometimes it ashames me to be apart of the world we were FUCKING! Question: which group of people are the most corrupt?

It's so sad that people can treat one another so badly. It all comes down to ignorance. Some people let their stupidity turn them into jerks. I hope there have been enough good people in the world to ballance your experiences.

Yay! I love it when people say nice things to me!! Thnx!
To the subject...I say, don't fret my friend, well...not overmuch. People will always have there problems, beliefs and bias...always, always, always...And I admit, I am not ommited from that, as much as I'd like to be. Things do change though, it does take time, maybe in our lifetime we'll see change...As for the reaction we get from people, the "devil worshipper" tag we get hit with...that'll change too with time...but it probably won't seem like it. More likely, they'll be a shift in the broad public spectrum, more and more people are "going goth" even though by nature we're rare...eventually it won't be so unusual to do as we do, and then people will stop caring...until, as things tend to happen, they're will be more of "us" than "them"...problem is, a couple hundred years down the line (if the human race is still alive) "we'll" be picking on the christians. Trends rise and fall, it's an economic thing...however, I don't know if well ever make it that far...thats my toss into the question...it's a big "maybe" I really don't know...I don't think anyone really does, good questions are never easy to answer...as it is, I hope things change.
Of course, I do admit a sort of guilty pleasure when I scare the crap out of people...but your family? That was wrong...they shouldn't have done that...that is messed up something fierce, sucky thing is, it's always hard to truly hate one's family...and you don't seem to be the type of person who really hates anybody.
I hope the world changes for the better...but do I think it will? Nope...hence the reason I wear black, act depressive and write weird poem-stuff...
But thats not an excuse to not be delieriously happy! Drugs help!!
