I actually felt like the air was leaving the room. Doesn't she ever think she has been taking too long? I always think about that when I have been talking. And after all that... I got the pleasure of paying her for a half *** service (because she was talking) and she got an ear to spew at.

Whether we like or not, the world is a collection of selfish people with mutual interests. people like to talk, well most people do, so they meet and talk mostly about themselves and usually compete with each others to take the whole attention. Of course you hear all the time people saying to you get interested in people, but the question is why should I get interested in people while they get interested in themselves? In my view, the only way in this world is to use others for your own ends while others use you for theirs. Sounds very bad when writing it, but it is the way it is. I'm out of this game, though
