Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving. Options

I felt so terrible seeing an albino teenager on a train a while ago. I watched him for about a half hour and the whole time, he kept his head hung between his legs and tried to cover himself with his arms. He lifted his head a grand total of two times but it was only 2 seconds before he put his head down again. Now, the reason for his behaviour could be due to anything, really, but I had a gut feeling it's due to the uninformed/prejudiced/ignorant people in society.

What if ill/harmful feelings were reduced/removed from society somehow? Would people be more forgiving and open-minded if they are surrounded only by such thoughts? Or do you think they serve as a balance to keep things in harmony? As in the yin&yang? Hypothetically, that's all fine and dandy but we all know life isn't perfect.

No, Mona, you're the mind reader. Meanie!

To the second question: yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Without that ill-will, people are much, much better people, I've seen it.

For the longest time, I've believed in balance, because it used to make the most sense. It explained why there's sadness and evil, but I've come to believe that we don't get what we deserve. By removing all that ill will that caused the albino person to look down constantly, I don't think the world will just "balance" itself by having more pain to replace the old, I think overall the world will be much better.

After all, so many people say that they want to die knowing that they left the world better than when they arrived, but if the world was "balanced", then won't you be leaving it the same? If you caused more happiness, somewhere someone's must've felt more hurt.
