#780407 - for the longest time i've prayed God for justice. For so long, 20 years everyday i prayed. I really believed then that the pendulum will swing, "a day for them and a day for us", that -- as the Buddhists say -- "change is the only constant". Yet 20 years out of 100, other than some of my tormentors living their lives out to a ripe age and dying of natural causes -- nothing has changed. I stopped believing in the future, and now life is like travelling the Sahara one barrel at a time: days flash by but nothing changes. Evil, indeed, does live long.
