There is no love in this world, there is no consideration. Maybe families have some amount of love for each other, but for someone they do not know, there is no love. Maybe these people will give the homeless guy on the corner 50 cents and wish him on his way, but they still do not care about everyday people. It seems like a new trend to show people how little they care about them. At the end of each phone conversation they hang up without saying good bye, any chance they get to avoid answering your question they will enjoying being silent just to mess with your emotions by not giving you respect. Why is there more people in the world like this than not? These people claim that you are responsible for your own emotions so they do the best to show you disrespect only to affect your emotions just to tell you that you have responsibility over them. Really, is this the ego? Or is this just the world of hate that we live in? The world of reality, which is the world of hate...

See, it's wrong-thinking like this that could drive a person to suicide.
This is not a world of hate. It's a world of humans doing what humans have always done. It is in our species to take care of our own and disregard and fear everyone else. It's just the way we're made. Me? I don't care what other people think of me. I go out into the world to do what I need to do in order to pursue MY interests. If people are rude, it's a reflection on THEM and not on me.
I've always helped people out in ways that don't threaten me or my lifestyle. I give not too much and not too little for me to handle.
You MUST come first in your life, otherwise everyone will just suck the life out of you.
Understanding human nature will make the world a lot clearer for you.

Honestly thank you, I need these words to smack myself out of it. It's like these small displays hypnotize me into believing and perceiving something that is not true.

I live in an overall kind place. However if I really want to feel respected and relive the days of manners and courtesy, I go to Texas, there all doors are opened for me by courtly gentlemen, all children say yes ma'am and no ma'am. Waitresses smile and joke with me, it is like entering a fairy tale. I love it.
The world is colder, but not everywhere and not everybody, I do what I can to make it warmer and kinder and more courteous, try it
