Could it be that some people are great and some suck and we just have to learn to recognize who is who and adjust accordingly, depending if these people you unfortunately must put up with (random bad drivers) or people you don’t need to get close to at all (unsuitable potential “friends” or lovers or bad social circles etc).
I never believed everyone was great, and I don't believe now that everyone sucks.

Previously, in my music circle I thought it was very different than how it actually is. There are many people in this scene who pretend to be peace loving hippies, when in fact, they are not that at all. So many people adopt a facade of goodness. And this is true in life in general.

What I am now saying is that most people suck. What I previously believed was that most people are good.

I am not black and white, all or nothing. I think there's about 1-3% of the entire population that has strong morals, strong ethics, who are honorable, caring, loving, and decent human beings, who are also honest and faithful. This type of person is pretty rare and very hard to find. The other 97-99% of the population is lacking or weak in these areas. This is how I see the world now.
