I don't understand
Why people are so vulgar
Why everyone is so judgmental
Why sexism even exists
Why racism is around today
Why bad things happen to good people
Why there are un-curable diseases
Why police officers are all of a sudden bad people
Why women can't get paid as much as men
Why some men thinks it's ok to sexually assault someone
Why there are psychological disorders
or why people support Trump (Sorry if your'e reading this and you support him)
But I do understand
Why people choose to see the good in others
Why people have respect
Why people are over protective
Why people express their opinions
Why I love my family and friends


The author's comments:

I was thinking about my life and where I was in society, and I realized I don't understand most of the things in this world today. So I made a list of them all, but then at the end of the list I felt so sad. So I continued the list with things I do understand in our world. As you can see there are more things I don't understand than what I do understand. Some things I will truly never understand and I don't think anyone will. We will have to except the randomness in the world.
