People ask me, 'why must you analyze everything?' Well in return, I ask them, 'why must you be so superficial?'
I find it quite pathetic how those I am surrounded by (no, I am not classifying the entire human race as one merely those who I am surrounded by) have the tendency to overlook the most crucial characteristics of being humane; depth. Time and time again, I fail to understand how people I know can so willingly go along with a friendship, without anything substantial to sustain it. This is why I am picky about those I befriend, I have standards. Hah. I have a criteria you must meet, I'm not going to pick up any old mongrel off the street because they're 'nice'. Hasn't your mother ever told you not to use 'nice' as an adjective? It's a FAIL word. I've also been asked why I seem to think that people always have ulterior motives. Well you know fucking what. Most people do. And the one's you don't suspect, are often the culprits. Heard the saying, 'good girls are bad girls that don't get caught?' Cliche as it is, it's true. Everyone has a goal in mind, something to achieve through every simple action and movement they make. Every little thing means something. Sometimes people make friends because personalities just click, naturally attract, sometimes the reasons go beyond this simple concept. Befriend the nerd? To copy off them and get good grades. No chica/o, this sudden new addition to your life doesn't love you for who you are. What the fuck are you thinking? On the positive side, this COULD BE the case. However, taking into account the minority of people I've chosen to address, this isn't. Reality check guys. Use your fucking brains. Befriend the girl all the guys like? Well duh, they want to get through to the guys. Befriend the bitch? They want an empire. Once again, I'm sure I need to repeat, that this is NOT a generalization. It is incredibly specific.
It's funny how it's always the same people. Time and time again.

The Lucifer Effect
As the evil within the human race grows, so does our definition of the word 'evil'. The more 'evil' we become, the harder it is to be labeled as such.
How do psychologists understand the transformation of Human Character - evil to good, or good to evil?
Study by Philip Zimbardo
Evil can influence us in three ways.
DISPOSITIONAL: Inside of Individuals The Bad Apple
SITUATIONAL: External The Bad Barrel
SYSTEMATIC: Broad influences, the system, political, economical, legal power The Bad Barrel-Makers
7 Social Processes That Grease the Slippery Slope of Evil
- Mindlessly taking the first small step
- Dehumanization of others
- De-individuation of self (anonymity)
- Diffusion of personality responsibility
- Blind obedience to authority
- Uncritical conformity to group norms
- Passive tolerance of evil through inaction or inderrence
The Evil of Passive Inaction
To watch an individual being destroyed, torn apart, physically or mentally is as bad as committing the crime itself. One’s need for self-preservation often outweighs one’s conscience. This is the crime humanity is most guilty of, known as passive inaction, ‘staying out of it’. They follow the rule, “Don’t get involved and mind your own business!” Their response should be, “HUMANITY is my business!” These individuals do not realize that individually preserving themselves and none other than themselves could cause the destruction of society as a whole. Collaboration is the key to progress.

We are young.
We are strong.
We're not looking for where we belong.
We are free and we're running with blood on our knees.

Mika.
Within the lines, 'I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky. I could be hurtful, I could be purple, I could be anything you like!' he appears to be light hearted, though really, beneath those seemingly nonsensical shallow words, he's taunting those he tried to force him away from being true to himself.
Should I bend over, should I look older, just to be put on your shelf? An evident example of his euphemistic attack on the stereotypical music industry.
However, though most of his songs do have hidden meanings, stemmed from a part of his subconscious, addressing issues that are on his mind, some are purely light hearted - nothing wrong with that though, is there? One does not need to be depressed to be classified as deep, and light-heartedness is not synonymous with being shallow.
Below is my current favourite Mika song; Toy Boy. The melody and words are definitely ones to be stuck in your head. :)

A Post by the Spawn of Satan
You know what. Let me clear something up with you. I'm not evil. I'm not mean, I'm not sinister. I'm not cruel and I'm not cold. I get very emotionally attached and I really feel for people. In case most of you shit heads haven't realised, it's me you come for when you need a shoulder to cry on or some advice. Then you're okay, you leave and while you're gone you forget about everything I did for you.
I CAN be cold, I CAN be cruel, I CAN be sinister and do you want to know why that is? It's because of YOU. Yes, you. This is the way you all left me. 'I'm not pretending. No hope, no love, no glory, no happy ending.' I'm completely on my own. All of you are too, but I know it. I've accepted it. I think realistically and deeply. My walls of cruelty were only built up after experiencing so much hurt in my life from those I let into my little bubble and ever since, I've had trust issues. I can't get close to anyone I spend time with or who cares. Those I open up to, don't give a shit. And the very few who care, I don't open up to because at the end of the day, everyone leaves and I'm sick of losing friendships so I feel that it's better to refrain from them altogether. I like happy people, I like being random, I like drama and I like fun. I also like deep thing. But I can't stand horror movies or serial killers, surprise you? Thought I was gonna turn out to be one, huh? ^^
I just had to unload. I'm sick of my stereotype. I'd play the misunderstood card, but it's so cliche and I dislike cliche. :) I'm not going to lie to your face and tell you I love you, like the best friend you spend 24 hours with but goes home and throws darts at the voodoo doll she has of you next to her bed. I don't do things like that.
I know a lot of the fear people have of me is through respect and that, of course, I am going to maintain. But realise, I have emotions. I have so many emotions, I'd be depressed if I expressed them to you. I get hurt by the smallest of things and realise, I analyse everything. The way in which you move, the way in which you talk, the tone which you use, so don't think that I can't see what you're doing - just because I don't say anything. I'm just going to endure this and when my time is up, run far far away.

An Angel's Cries, Seem Mute to the World.
In the dusty autumn breeze
An angel crying softly
Her cries seem to never cease
She once cried of joy and laughter,
She cried of peace and love
Peace was never meant to meet us
Love trapped in the skies above
Her tears of joy transformed to sorrow
Accompanied by a storm of grief
Our greedy human nature proved
Unworthy of a single leaf
Beneath floods of self-indulgence
Her soft weeping has been muffled
What became a human civil war was
Born of no more than a scuffle
We tear ourselves apart
It seems almost a modern art
Destroying, primarily the poor
Shoving them down, into a sewer
While the privileged wallow in gluttony
The majority does not reap, they sow
As we oppress our own kind,
We destroy the world around
Sucking dry the Earth of what it provides,
Depriving us of what lays our ground
Children of consequence shall suffer
For them it is too late,
If we don’t act at this very moment
We will have permanently sealed their fate
In the blink of an eye.
