Angels and Demons

Imagine if there are two groups of people, who do not necessarily know of each others existence, but do almost the same thing.

Well, not really the same thing, but to me it feels like the same thing. More like two different sides of the same coin :O Different, but ultimately the same?

One of these groups are like angels, they're so kind hearted!

They go around helping people in need ^o^

See a person carrying way too many things at the grocery store? They'll offer to help carry the things back to the car ^o^

See a kid crying in public because she's lost? They'll take responsibility for her and take care of her till she gets married and look for her parents, even if it takes days to do so!

They might even come across a sick person or a depressed person or just someone who seems to not have a good day and try to cheer them up, trying to do anything to make the person feel better (even if they get punched in the process).

What do they get out of it? Nothing. Nothing except the overwhelming feeling of happiness that comes when you realize that you've helped make someone's life a little bit better. And the satisfying feeling that you've done something good ^_^

Is that nothing? I don't think so. Those feelings are certainly something. Which is why I don't believe in the idea that charity and selflessness exists. Everyone's selfish in a way and these people do it to make themselves feel better :D It doesn't make what they do bad, though, its still an admirable thing ^o^

But its not just that, I guess. There must be some other kind of motivation, right? I know I just said that they do it to make themselves feel good, but I suspect that that is only true at a subconscious level for most, if not all :3

So what else? I think its because they believe that the world can actually be a better place if people were nicer and kinder to each other, and looked out for one another ^_^ they also have enough faith that if they initiated such acts of kindness, it would cascade into a chain of kindness that'll result in a happier world~ ...or they just get a kick out of doing it XD

And then theres this group that are like demons.

These people just go around doing random things that, for lack of better terms, give other people more work to do. Or they just disturb people around them.

You know that poor cleaner that mops at the most nonsensical time - when the shopping complex is full of people? These guys just walk all over where the cleaner just mopped, undoing all the work and requiring another go through.

They might see a security guard dozing off in front of a jewelry shop and immediately try to rob the shop, without any guns! Just shouting out loud and acting as if they are a threat. Their weapons are only their confidence. They get in a ton of trouble, of course.

They might even go so far to hit on a girl that seems bored but later get beaten up by her boyfriend that showed up later. She was just waiting for him. Whoops. No matter, they didn't intend to get anything anyway.


Why do these troublemakers even exist? How the hell can I even think that they're the other side of the coin that the angels reside on? Its because of their motivations.

They, too, want to make the world a better place. Well, to be more precise, a more interesting place. The world is such a boring place when everything goes according to plan, so these are the guys who will mess things up. Chaos is the name of the game and it makes everyone's lives more interesting.

Nobody updates their facebook or twitter with the same old things that happens everyday. In fact, even if they did, they would project an image of being boring and it would sorely lower their self esteem as an individual without anything interesting happening in their lives.

So these troublemakers spice up peoples lives by throwing a wrench into the gears of normal, mundane life. They fuck up people's well laid plans and cause trouble wherever they go. They get into trouble, they suffer the consequences, but they feel happy seeing the ripples of their actions spread far and wide.

They believe that subconsciously, the people who they're giving trouble to are thankful that they now have something different to contend with, something new and interesting to do. Their complaints on their facebook walls and twitter feeds are evidences of that, stating to the world that hey, this unfortunate thing happened to me, I'm different! and I need pity .o. and people will pity them, and they will receive attention and love~

To the group thats like demons, this is what fulfills them and drives them to inject more excitement into people's lives~ To know that they are the source of excitement and newsworthy stuffs, everyone's singing their praises indirectly, and it feeds their ego like no other *o*


So.. yeah, imagine that. Kinda bizarre, huh? ^o^ I swear it sounded infinitely more interesting and sensible in my head... thats what you get if you're out of practice, I guess :\ gotta get back into the groove of blogging >o<9
