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.
Ok. Well maybe you don’t think it’s all 100% bad but rather 97-99% such and 1-3% is good. It’s very close to all bad, statistically speaking. Like out of 100 people you know only 1-3 are decent people, it’s pretty low number of good people. I wonder if it’s your current situation that contributes to seeing things in such dark light. I hope it improves as things get better

I think that social circle was never really loving hippies and I don’t think they even pretended that much. You’ve been sharing about people from that circle over the years and drama and turmoil surrounding these people never strike me as all that loving. I think you just saw them this way with rose colored glasses. And you can’t really know them well as they are intoxicated at these events. They might be good people but who really knows since they are buzzed/drunk or high all the time, which I am sure they are. But this is just this group. They don’t represent the entire humanity

Taking rose colored glasses off is a good thing. I don’t want you to go to the other side of it. It’s just rough times now and it shall pass too.
