mine is that people in general are bad and terrible and my ideal life would be as a hermit with very little interaction with anyone except my animals and plants and no impact from people or governments and never reading the news.
when i was young, i was optimistic about the future of the human race but reality has bitch-smacked my inner child and taught me the truth and it keeps getting confirmed the older and older I get.
so what lessons have you learned as you’ve gotten older?
Life is hard and complex. Be kind.
Humans generally choose and behave based on how we feel. That’s neither good nor bad, it’s what we are–emotional beings.
The risks of social interaction is often the cost of meaningfulness.
