Discourse Is A Curse

So many hateful internet opinions, 
but not enough compassion or intellect;
There's always an embittered person
raging ceaselessly about everything

So much collective societal arrogance, 
at times it like there's no humility
There's always someone in the world
arguing over what does not matter

Maybe they'll get a thicker enough skin, 
they might even learn to care a bit less
Perhaps they will later on come to see
that through detachment they can be free
