Most people believe they are doing the right thing, it just isn't useful. By slight manipulation you can make an ideal environment so that their efforts directly benefit you. People aren't evil or bad, just useless things with the best of intentions.

Is that what I said? Sorry haha I really need to refrain from posting until I get coffee in my system
I guess what I meant is anybody would turn on you if put in the right situation. Everybody has some kind of price which could be anything from money, to the safety of their loved ones, to the need of boosting their own ego ect. My default position when dealing with anybody is distrust until I get to know them awhile and even then, I keep them on a tight leach.
I don't think that everybody is against me by any means; thinking in such a way is delusional and I pride myself in my rationality.
Regardless, you make very excellent points
