The human condition. The ego.  As we make our way through life, we are molded by our experiences. What we are faced with and fought our ways through affects us in one form or another. Our childhood, our upbringing, emotion, love & grief. Anger and hate. The anger and hate and loss that we face. PTSD. The joys and struggles. The loneliness. Our daily fears. Jealously and pride. Just trying to figure out one's purpose in life can a journey filled with struggles. The complexities of simply being a human is not so simple. It's not black and white. The push and pull. The ups and downs. Most instances in life are temporary. However, humans tend to focus on the pain and negative. We all change as we go through this crazy life. Our experiences are completely subjective, not one is the same as another. Our perspectives are unique, and we must find a way after all of that, to lead with empathy.
