“Becoming an agent of historical change”

today my professor said there are scientific studies saying,
“we are actually soft-wired to be hyper-competitive, we are more hardwired to be empathetic”

as in
there is this illusion that we are born brutal,
born tough,

born sinners,

born evil

this is just a falsity.
this is just some cover up.
this is just a coping mechanism.
this could be a long poem
or I can just end it here with
hey, give your friends
way, way
more hugs.

Writes poems. Tries to be a better person everyday. Doesn’t have it all figured out.
