Terrible Options.

You know, sometimes, you just understand their perspective. Not everyone does things out of spite, hatred and anger. Not everyone does things to hurt you where it really hurts and not everyone has the intention to shatter your heart. Sometimes, it just happens that way and whilst it may seem too crude of a statement to accept and appreciate, it's just they couldn't see another way.

Hello there, I'm the Earthian.

When all the choices you have come down to two that are as cruel and cold as hurt or get hurt, you really can't be a winner, no matter what. Sure, you can choose to get hurt but it just won't seem fair after enough hits were thrown your way. And no matter how matured we think we are, and no matter how much people preach that life ain't fair, taking it is always a tad harder.
And when you reach a point where you can actually afford to look at everything that's happened from a perspective that's not biased, you actually do understand, you actually do get them. Sure, what they did hurt you, but at least now you know the options they had were really only as kind to them as they were to you. They were essentially asked to either be killed or be the one who did the killing. And no matter what option they chose, from the no man's land you're in, you understand them and you understand that they had  terrible options to choose from. Downright terrible. And you probably had the exact same choices too.

I know, nothing is still justified and nothing is still acceptable but sometimes they don't need to be. They're really what they are and the options that we now have are to look at the positives fondly, even if it takes you nowhere or cry over the negatives. Neither might help. Just different perspectives, really.

Love, peace.
