Can't We All Just Get Along?

Is it me, or has it become more & more difficult to keep the peace? In my opinion, people today are more reluctant to maintain healthy relationships/friendships. Everyone is ready for some type of brawl at all times. Almost as though they have their boxing gloves on & are awaiting the sound of the bell to initiate the first round. From my personal experience, I have been surrounded by people who enjoy manipulating and/or creating uncomfortable situations solely for their personal entertainment. To me, you have to be a real pathetic individual to gain satisfaction by creating chaos in others lives. Take this as an example, I had a close friend who got involved with the wrong guy. Innocently enough she trusted him as we all did. What a mistake that was. I will not divulge all the details in which led to the chaos BUT I will say that he took things to a level in which it did not need to be taken. He created a wedge in between a friendship that was tainted but not tarnished. I have to admit though, it was not him single handed who destroyed it all. My dear "friend" played her role, as did I. Any who, it goes without saying that the 3 of us have some unfinished business in which we need to resolve. It may not happen today nor tomorrow, but the day will come. I am ready to face my demon, though I can not say the same for him. As I stated before, that day is coming.
