Burning down the house

I don’t understand why people fight.

I don’t understand why someone would think that their needs are important enough to take someone else’s breath.

I don’t understand why people fear enough to hate.

I don’t understand why people fear love.

I don’t understand why people choose to ignore each other.

I don’t understand anger.

I don’t understand abandonment.

I don’t understand misunderstandings.

I don’t understand submission to weakness, anger, fear or hate.

There are some things that I just don’t want to understand.
