Emotions...a depressing yet slightly uplifting story.

Emotions

There is one, born in darkness and conspired by hate, one who does not feel the need to love, to care for others, one who cannot express their true, heartfelt emotions of life. There is one who can only feel bitter and lust, and manipulates others for their own desires. There is one who will do any tactic or strategy, for better or worse, for no other desire than power. There is one who cannot fathom the possibility of joy and companionship, and rules in tyranny. There is one who is so cunning, so vile, spite and delinquent, they have no remorse for their actions taken. However, deep down, inside the ever-darkening depths of their corrupt and conniving self... is one who feels joy, their heart beating, aching of love, casting rays of light to the blackened soul. But the soul fights back, sending pulses of melancholy to the heart, weakening it to such an extent that it nearly dies of despair. But the heart does not back down. It spreads its true emotions, love and joy, all around. The heart beats stronger, faster, sending pulses of compassion and peace into the mind and soul... but it runs dry. The mind keeps those thoughtful, wistful hopes and dreams, and tries to spread it out. The soul is changed. But the heart must take the ultimate burden and absorb the corruption of the mind and soul. There is one who has been changed, but their heart is chained by the original emotions of their soul and mind.

How could one, once filled with love and felicity, grow to be conspired with such bitterness and lust, such corruption and malevolence? The answer lies within youth. In youth, innocent lives can be changed in an instant. In youth, people create their own desires. In youth, anything can manipulate them, for better or worse, with lasting effects over the course of their long and painful lives. In youth, dreams are born. But it's not only the subject's fault, but the people surrounding. The parents and the kin are what shape them, along with their true motivations. They can open doors... or close many. They can plant a seed of growth... or they can wither the bud. Like a rose, its beauty can be mesmerizing, but it also has thorns. But thorns can be removed, or be left to grow. Let the thorns grow enough, and the rose will die, like the soul if not tended to properly. Fiendish lust and desire from the people who care not are worthless in the span of life, with only riches and wealth moving them on. People are not always pure and lovely, like pearls, but can be warped and twisted like coal. How can one recover?

Imagine if, just if, mind and body, soul and heart, worked in harmony and compassion, with trust and honesty. There would be one who give it their best effort for the benefit of all. There would be one filled with such love and motivation, they are loved by many more. Their hard work, their strength and intellect, comes together to form the perfect bond. The willpower and adversity of the challenge may be an uphill battle, but they push on, and never break their perseverance. They don't try to give up halfway through and seek an easier route, invoking the deadly sin of sloth. They don't let the negativity and cruel judgments of others break them. They just try. They try with the greatest force they can exert... and try, try again should they fail. Alas... there is none who can truly meet such standards, for it takes more than a lifetime to create a perfectly harmonic bond. But people will still try. They may invoke terrible sins, like Sloth, Greed, and Pride. But they shall try. It may manipulate them, it may break them. But they will still try. Allow thyself to be at peace with thyself, and many a boundary shall be broken.
