Unhappy wondering

just wondering why people are sometimes so bad and so little. Don't they know life is too short and it should be simple? Why all this bad talking, why all this malice? I dare say that from the moment I was familiar to humans I loved animals. With animals you know where you are going. If you are good to them they won't bite you. With humans you never know. You must always be cautious. But this distrust is poisoning our lives.:

Hello greece, welcome to the Cellar.

Only if you let it. Don't be gullible.
Don't be too sure, what you think someone means, is actually what they meant.
Don't make important decisions based on what one person says.

The more informed you are.... more self reliant and less dependant.... the less you will be disappointed with others.








or kill everyone that lies to you.

If I killed everyone that lied to me... I'd be in jail.

It's so easy to be cynical about the world. I am most of the times. The problem is, it's also easy to be too optimistic. There are no bad or good people... everyone has both good and bad in them. The only problem is they're rarely in balance...

And the other problem is that one person's notion of good doesn't always match up with another's.

It is a choice... with humans I do not distrust. I sometimes get bit, but when I do not, the payoff is much greater and out weights those times my trust is in vein.

Some people like drama, confusion and turmoil. I have heard someone say they love creating it, as long as it's not theirs to deal with. People are fucked up. Some never learn how to be decent human beings...it's just something you have to know. The only thing that you can control is you. You can control your reaction to them. I guess maybe you can try working on your obersavtion and perception skills? I often times can reconigze the good ones from the bad ones pretty quickly off the bat.

Lot of chaos junkies out there.
Most of your life is your reaction to outside influence. That, you have 100% control over.

All right, skysidhe. Just fold your hands and sit quietly at your desk.

it's not distrust that poisons lives. that doesn't even make sense. what poisons lives? apart from actual poison, that is. envy, guilt, vengeance, greed, self hate. not distrust. distrust might poison your afternoon.....maybe. and as for why people are bad and small.......they're young souls. pettiness is a lack of wisdom. any more questions?

Some people need to find the thing that restores their faith in other people once it has been broken, some find it, others don't evidently. Others have just gotten so used to being used by other people that they refuse to believe that they won't be. Most people however just don't have the patience to find out the hard way over and over again and will open up after a little bit.
