I do not understand poems

I do not understand...
Why everywhere people choose to hate when the easiest thing to do is just the opposite.
Why people can't take the seconds needed to say a "thank you" to a teacher, to give a
Smile to a person they don't usually talk to, or say "I love you" to their parents.
Why stubbornness and selfishness often get in the way of a newfound beginning that can
Result to be beautiful and complete.
But most of all, I do not understand...
How men can never understand women, yet be able to put up with them
and still love every single bit and piece of them.
What I do understand is that...
I am not alone. I know somewhere, someone else is going through the agony, the glory,
The suffering, and the joy of being a maniacal, frenzied teenager.

I do not understand...
Why in real life there is never a "happy ever after" like in the story books.
Why some people risk their necks to go out and race, legally and illegally. And for what?
All for the thrill of speed?
Why little kids think the Teletubbies are cute and funny, when I think that they look like
Stone Age babies trapped in Barney-look-alike, alien-type bodies.
But most of all, I do not understand...
Why people can be two-faced. Just like how the ocean can be calm and tranquil but can
Transform into a conniving murderer that sucks victims into its lair.
What I do understand...
Is that life will have its twists and turns, its ups and downs. Life is like a box of
Chocolates, we never know what we're going to get. The "Big Guy," though works
In mysterious ways and everything happens for the greater good.
