Comment from Dean Kuch
With all due respect, Anonymous Poet, I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment of mankind in general.
Man is a greedy, money-grubbing, selfish, self indulgent creature.
We destroy acres of forest through deforestation, pollute our planet's air, waterways and ground.
No, man is inherently evil in my humble opinion.
But, you know what they say about opinions, right?
Good luck to you.

Comment from BeasPeas
I don't know if this is biographical or fiction. In either case it's realistic in the way you have portrayed it. What I do know is that there have always been good and bad people in the world and there will continue to be those. Not one doggone thing we can do about it except be nice and helpful to each person on a one-to-one level. There is no sense in worrying. Worrying gets us nowhere and is a total waste of energy. Your character in the story--or yourself, if true, needs to seek help, move on and have a great life. Good luck in the contest with this interesting post. Marilyn

Comment from jenintorre
This is very good entry for the I believe contest. I do agree with you that most people are good, kind honest people and that it is only a very small percentage that are not,.
I wish you good luck in the competition.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. Without faith we have no hope. When we don't have hope it seems very hard to believe that our circumstances will ever change.

Such a powerful and moving journal about believing and caring about others even through disillusionment. I'm glad you shared your heart and point of view. Keep writing ... and keep feeling better. Well done.

Comment from smudge
I agree with you. It is so important to write your feelings down. The content is the heart of all writing. The authenticity of the record can lead to hope and change. No steps are taken for change until it is demanded by words.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Writer,
This is a bit confuing to me. *smile* Sounds like it might be a bit confusing to you, too. I'm glad that your primary statement is that you believe that writing is your catharsis -- and that doesn't change. The belief in people does seem to change in the piece, and that might confuse some.
By the way, the contest calls for prose and you have added this in the category of poetry.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Anne Frank had great faith in human nature as you have, and it's a pity that there are people in this world who want to extinguish such bright burning flames. You sailed in your life raft here and I enjoyed your words and I too continue to believe that people are good at heart. A warm and honest write. Love Dolly x
