The movies we embrace,

are ones with nothing out of place.

The movie we choose to see

is not the one that shows how the movie came to be.

We ignore the process and seek the finished project,

And the Behind-the-Scenes we neglect.

What if this is life?

Are there"Making Of"s in stories of strife?

We view the actions of others as their main motion-picture,

and never stop to think what inspired the creature.

We forget about intentions, about the things that we don't know.

And compare their motives to ours, as if ours really show.

Thoughts can be monsters, even to oneself,

but what if we applied benefit, to the wrong doing of someone else?

That would be a paradise, to see the hearts of others:

To solve a problem is to see the incentive of our brothers.
