Beautifully Destructive

My dad always told me, "Man is more dangerous than an animal." He told it in a despicable tone. Like something that didn't deserve a medal, something we shouldn't be proud of, even though people acted like it was. I understand his words now. And it perhaps is the most valuable advice I ever got. When you see a lion, you know you should be scared, you know you should run, you know it could kill you. But with a human, you can never tell. You'll never know when they decide to tear you apart. You seldom have the time to run, and even when you do, you're not sure if you should. And its not before they completely destroy you, that you realize you should have run when you had the time. But you can't stop wondering how someone so beautiful, so human could such a damage. Some people my friend, are like forest fires; terrifyingly beautiful and destructive at the same time.
