Dear Humans,

The world can be a mean place sometimes. Or at least it seems that way when bad things happen. But the worst things happen after the bad things. And they happen because people let those bad things convince them that the world is a mean place and the only way to survive it is through more meanness.

But the world, despite bad things sometimes happening, isn’t a mean place. And though we’ve all experienced a little meanness, we can’t let it turn us into mean people. Because then we create a cycle of meanness and we cause more bad things to happen. 

So we have to be a little bit foolish and a little bit vulnerable. And we have to know that sometimes we’ll get burned. But when that happens we can either add ourselves as fuel to the fire of meanness, or we can step away from the flames.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
