People Are Wolves, Or Worse, Depending On The People.

This is one of my more in-your-face/obvious titles with more of a cryptic image...but I think that helps to express the reality.

The piece, if you couldn't guess, is about bad people that do bad things. Spurred by some current events, political atmosphere, and personal experience, it's meant to point out the idea of a wolf among us, hidden behind the ever-present daily disagreements and negativity...

It's not  a call to say "be better people" yourself, but more of a simple statement, announcing the presence of such a person. It's all our own duty to do well to others and do well for ourselves, but we also need to accept that, with freedom to do well comes the freedom to destroy.

We need to do everything we can to do well throughout our lives...but also realize that this presence is always there and can never completely be forgotten or ignored. People Are Wolves, Or Worse, Depending On The People. and, unfortunately, that means we, the good people, need to find a way to live to our best ability despite the constant possibility that evil may spill into our lives...
