Pondering at the many mean, rude and selfish people in this world?

Guys...I’ve spent a lot of my life wanting to believe that some how mean people are people who are just experiencing a bad moment, or who mean well but are protecting their best interest.. whatever the reason there has always been some sort of justification for whatever level of ignorance, selfishness or unkindness there might be. I even used to go as far as telling myself I was crazy.. or that surely not.. that person didn’t mean to make that snide comment or not invite me to a party because they forgot or didnt mean to..oh.. that guy was poor so he stole something .. or he was having a bad day etc.. always making excuses in my head for mean people..as I’ve gotten older it’s been a bit liberating to admit and realize I’m not crazy..but with that also sad to see that there genuinely are mean and crazy people everywhere in this world. I’ve starting to count so many instances of people just being mean, and selfish from the greedy ceo, trying to take advantage of the small business owner.. to the man who cheats secretly on his loving wife, the girls that bully and talk bad about the young woman just trying to live her best life, or the mean mother her verbally abuses her daughter and says nothing she does is good enough, to the jealous miserable woman who tears people down because she’s insecure but acts like your best friend.. the man who takes a package off the front door of someone’s home.. to the neighbors who talk bad constantly about the single mother living next door who’s busting her butt to make a living..to the person who throws a drink at a homeless person..the coworker who pretends to be your friend but is all the whil secretly throwing you under the table.. I’ve started to see.. after 32 years of living that there are a LOT of sad and mean people in the world.. and after having had my daughter I’m realizing I have to teach her that these things are real. She’s smart and beautiful and kind and delicate like me.. and her dad. And she WILL one day be bullied or left out for it.. she will probably be robbed at some point, talked bad about, taken advantage of.. and there was a time when I was young that I wanted to say.. oh it’s a rarity not all people are like that.. but as time has gone by I’m starting to see how real and commonplace it is.. in fact I see NOW despite all the fake social media stuff that make people appear to be nice, there truly are some very crazy, very selfish and mean people and in fact.. starting to think it’s way more commonplace than I previously thought ..and this makes me sad.. I wanted to believe it isn’t that way.. but it is. You have to watch out for these bad eggs, they are everywhere. And the truth is that the why they are that way has more to do with their situation than yours.. but it’s still real, and still poses challenges... you can’t avoid these people or situations and I think that’s the part that bothers me the most.. i just wanted to write this out because it’s how I feel. I hope one day my daughter can read it. If she does, I want her to know that even when someone does something hurtful, you may be mad in the moment or even for a couple days.. but eventually you’ll need to understand people act that way because of something missing inside of them.. the sooner you can realize that they are for example insecure, jealous, or just living a sad life and that their actions have more to do with them than you.. the easier it is to move on.. but do know.. you’ll see these situations a lot and you have to remember it isn’t you.. it’s them. And it’s sad.. I hope one day that the world become a nicer kinder place.. if not, which it probably won’t be.. the best thing you can do is keep being a force for good. Kill people with kindness, remember it’s not you it’s them..and don’t ever let that ray of sun shine go out just because of the lame actions of someone else.. stand strong and tall and at worst, step away from the situation if you have to. Cry and grieve to yourself, but stand tall in your kindness. Be an example and a force for good.

I think what's happening has been explained with rats... In experiments where they're over over crowded and forced to fight for resources you see that type of behaviour

As adults we are all fee to make our own choices.

Whatever is chosen is taken with until if lucky old age ...

I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

Nasty Old people in nursing homes talking tough like thy were still in their prime detailing what they would do to someone else because they just felt like it .... they want their fix ....

...and nope that has nothing to do with dementia or mental disorder it was them ... their choices ... their soul

Don’t lose heart, the world cries out for more good hearts and I choose to take my good heart with me for however long I’m given.

I think you're a level above. Keep it up. It's really hard to see inside people and believe them. Thumbs up.
