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?
People divide themselves by creating issues where they don’t exist. Groups will spin language to suit their side as being correct and greater than the other. Even empathy has confrontationally different definitions. I don’t foresee this changing but do think it will come and go in severity.
I do not see anyone as generally bad. I see them as giving into basal instincts and not overcoming misunderstandings. Being a hermit is fine for introverts. I need people and I tolerate more than gives me comfort sometimes.
