Personally; I prefer to say life is like looking through a lens, seeing everyone else happy, meanwhile you feel shit- everyone walking all over you, while you feel like you're on the last straw.
Everyone on this earth is selfish. Everyone has it- selfish tendencies. Everyone uses them. Not just one person is a manipulator- everyone on this earth uses manipulation- at this point, it is not an insult to call somebody a manipulator- as the person closest to you- could be behind your back, using you for their selfish needs. The truth of life is not peace will bring happiness; accepting everything, will bring happiness- not giving a fuck, will bring happiness- none of those will work. The truth of life is to be like everyone yourself- fit in the crowd whilst trying to express yourself in the smallest way ever- But, everyone you will meet, has selfish tendencies, parents, siblings, boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands- even coworkers; even bosses. Everyone you meet is selfish; including yourself. You express yourself loudly; people shall think you are weird- People shall hate you. People don't like opinions unless it benefits them. People at this point, do not like simple comments, and simple sentences; simple criticism, is constructive. Everyone on this earth will be born selfish. If you were locked in a room with the most important person to you, who you love so entirely dearly; with no food. I suggest one of you would start pondering about eating the other. Everyone has needs, everyone has desires; people will make you do the hardest shit, the needs, just so they can do the wants; somebody shall make you do something hard for your age; for your knowledge; just so they can benefit their wants; video games, or being lazy in general; that is life.
The choice everyone gets to make, is how they will handle this, Be a good adult, Or be a shitty one. Turn out selfish like the rest of 'em, or make a difference. try to make a difference in the world slowly but surely.
Everyone in this world is cold, cruel, and selfish. Haven't noticed that yet and you will be titled naive. Even therapists; sit there and listen, hardly any of them ever put in the effort; because they get paid to sit there and act like they are working things out.
Doctors; still make money whilst their patients die, and bleed out, even if they put in the littlest effort.
Cps workers; make money off of being corrupt, most of them selfish, very select few are not- taking the good families apart; whilst keeping the bad families together.
Social workers; will always stress you out, making your life a living hell, whilst adding more stress. You shall go homeless; They shall inspect whoever took you in, shall the house be unfit you are on the street. They see your child as extremely mentally ill; they shall put stress on them, either sending them to an extremely tough school or taking your child away from a bruise from them playing.
This, my dear; is life, and how to cope with it is another world. Either you sit there, slowly rotting away, breaking apart at the seams like a ragdoll, or you stand up for yourself. you stand up for yourself, you shall be considered a horrid person; you cry, you shall be considered weak. if you cannot lift a 600-pound box, they will consider you weak; pushing you to do it until your fingers are red, knuckles bruised, and back feels like it is breaking in several places at once. People on this earth would torture you, had it had benefits. Even police are selfish, putting innocent people in jail, of nowhere for a higher paycheck. Your landlord can be selfish, Have you not paid rent a week late, you are evicted two days later, and taken to court for a lawsuit for a late bill, that the landlord themselves had rejected; to sue for more money, hidden In plain sight,
everything is under the nose of the law- certain places of this world, they are not corrupt. Everywhere is corrupt, everything is corrupt- every person is corrupt in some way. they make you learn on your computers in school, now, instead of you figuring out how to problem-solve, you have a computer, giving you the answer.
There is no easy way to fix this, as most of the time nobody shall ever agree with you till it benefits them wildly. you start a riot to get people to understand, you are a criminal; a terrorist, locked up for years on end for trying to get a simple word into the government's head.
