A Journey To the Truth

Once i made up my mind to find the monster, causing all the misery in the planet. So I set out on a journey to save earth and it's inhabits. I first encountered a scrawny boy with no arms. "Oh my god, i promise I'll not leave that vile beast without doing any harm" I said to him while he just replied with a warm smile. But it wasn't just warm, it was extremely hostile. It craved revenge but was powerless. But as usual, that feeble human laughed at all this mess. Second, i met a woman with a swollen face. She claimed that an acid attack, had severely cost her grace. I concluded, that only that monster could have done this cruelty. But who on earth gave him the authority to ruin that beauty? I then ran into a girl near my age. She was dressed as a bride and was probably attempting to escape. She saw me and stated, "They're really horrible" I questioned her, "Was your marriage forcible?" She chuckled, "I was just one of the animals who escaped from being beheaded" "And now loneliness is the only direction where I'm headed" I really wanted to help her, but there are some fights that you have to fight alone. Frankly, nothing has changed and yet only my hunger increased to overthrew tht monster from the throne. I was running low on food when this weird looking man, dressed as a woman appeared before me. He noticed me staring and said, "Sometimes I just want to flee" "Why?" I asked as he handed me some food. "Because no matter what we transgenders are always refused" "I'm sorry, but i really hope you can one day confide in yourself" I got up and continued my journey due to the being's help. And once again i blamed the monster for his sufferings. But all these people kinda left me wondering. And that was when I realised... The monster that i was looking for was there all the time. Humans are the one who ruined the things everytime. And the funny thing is that they claim that they side by peace. But if that is true then why is the misery and misfortune in every street?
