Me 2. Read about it but something inside me still resists against really accepting this.
Amen. Why should I be less good just because lots of other people suck?
There's no call to be less good or less yourself. But it's helpful to have stress management, relaxation, and self-support skills along with tempered expectations to maintain a healthy mental state. Then the rewards that never materialize aren't as big a deal.
i refuse to accept a nihilistic stance on this tbh, i will keep doing me and if life wants to be a bitch about it she is free to give me her worst :p we shan’t buckle
I have the same and I think it's something like this, but for humans:
Like it's not hard to abuse people's trust, but if everyone did it, humanity would literally not exist. So we've learned to tolerate the dumb-fucks who don't get that and try to "game the system" (ie just being selfish cunts) so that society and humanity overall will prevail.
However since the industrial revolution, it hasn't worked, because abusing the trust and good will of others has become even more efficient and the amount of capital one person can accumulate makes a single person so wealthy and powerful that they can actually ruin the lives of all the non-psychopathic people who aren't being greedy society-destroying cunts.
