I am selfish indeed

I don't want to hurt you, because I don't want you to hurt me. Even you can't hurt me directly, probably the next one I encounter will hurt me since he was hurt by someone else last time.

I don't want to lie to you, because I expect you being honest to me as well.
I wish a lot of conflicts can be solved by rational thinking with honest communication.
Yes, human have animal natures, but I wish they can be controlled.

I realize that I am assuming that everyone assumes the same as me, that everyone is equal, i.e., fairness.
I don't know if this will work, even in the future beyond my lifetime.

I am not noble at all,
I just want a simpler, and easier world FOR ME.
And the most important thing is that:
I have been the minority, and I am still in some aspects.
That's why I want fairness.

(I don't know what I am going to be like if I am the mightiest in every aspect.)

[sounds like you feel unsafe to be hurt, but you are the tough strong one, as I imagined :-)]

[this is the RIGHT thing, however, the more I experience, the more I feel that it is a good wish but not the fact]

[hmm....we human always assume we are superior than animals. But is that always true? We and animals are so similar in that we all have good and evil natures. Yet if we call it nature, then putting this evil monster into a cage by controlling might be painful. The best way to eliminated, but who ever heard such a person managed to do so?]

[it's a good wish, but the real world is very different -_-]

[maybe..]
