Oxymoron.

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
Benjamin Disraeli

It is a paradox to say that a person behaves in a certain way because when you say so, you could just be behaving in the similar manner. As Darwin's Law of Natural Selection is essentially the survivability of a species, adaptation is fundamental to it. A person needs to adapt to his new environment in order to survive. Therefore, calling upon a change. Sounds like an Obama line? Well, true enough that a change is needed. Like how Natural Selection may produce seemingly undesirable traits such as a shortened lifespan with a larger progeny, a person may change to become seemingly undesirable. This then changes the conditions. It puts another in an uneasy position. The discomfort calls for an explanation and it, many at times, puts others in an unfavourable light.

The feeling of a lack thereof is envy. Envy fuels anger, the impetus of many propaganda machines. I feel that some may have such a lacking that envy blinds the person. The person has coloured opinions of others. He sees green. He sprouts balderdash and tries to take the other down. This, makes the most saddening part. To think that envy can colour a person to the extent that he sees the people in a different light.
