There are 3 kinds of people in our life. First are those who love, mind and care about us. Second are those who hurt, cheat and make use of us. Third are those who neither care about nor do harm to us. To them we are just actors on life stage.
How to make the first as more as possible, the second less and less and the third convert to the first? I think the best way is to transform ourselves to be others' first people. What is your opinion?

We love the ones who hurt us, hurt the ones we love and ignore the ones who notice the most. It's just that simple and for me that is the way of life. It's human nature no matter how you slice it.

TOTALLY! That's why people keep going back to people that have hurt them over and over again. You know they are capable of hurting you, but you think they are going to one day change, and you can help them change. The sad reality is you can't help them, they have to do it themselves, and most likely they won't change.

Hey,
I haven't really found any people who actually love, mind and care about people. I mainly know people who know how to hurt, cheat and make use of us. A lot of my friends are like that, I don't even know why I call them friends. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

We attract people by our internal energies, they are often the bearers of lessons we need to learn just as we bring the necessary lessons into their lives. In the end we are basically the same energy just expressed in different ways.

I think people will respond back to you, the way you respond to them. If you be nice, polite & most Importantly good in heart, you are most likely to get a majority of first kind of people.

meeting different people is part of life.. you don't have to change your self just to gain more friends.. we have nothing to do if there were some people who don't like us.. let it be.. it's better to move on to live in life with your true friends around..

That matches very well with an old saying we have here. In order to have a friend, you must first be a friend. If you care about people, often they will care about you as well.

Fortunately, I don't know of any people in my life who fit into category two. Maybe I'm lucky.

langleben hi interesting discussion here.It makes me think
and thats hard hot work.he he .Right on we have to be friendly'and
honest and have integrity if we want to have others care about us,we have to be loving and caring and honest with them.As for the ones in that middle category I guess there are people like that. but so many times i have met someone who i thought didnt care about me and found that when we got to talking this person really did care about others but was just veryshy and didnt know how to really express herself. so I dont really know. I am lucky in that Ihavent met many of the first kind but what few I did meet hurt me pretty badly.

W hat you classified is too poetic.T here's far more than three kinds of people.I think it's hard to make change for people,actually for me indeed at least.I don't how to give myself a brand-new look.N ow life to me is awful,but I always believe there will become better in the future.N o matter what how many kinds of people divided,Just be yourself.W e can't control others,but we can control ourselves

In my opinion what you actually said is right. But then to my belief, people are only there for you when they love you or when they need something from you. The FIRST people who love, mind and case about us are those who knew us of course. We always do that to our love ones but most especially to our partners. You can never force someone to love a person if he does not know him or if they do not even met once. I mean we can only count the number of people we could love, and it is a matter of choice. You can always love as much as you want but your attention will be given to that one best person you decide to spend your entire life with. And it is very hard to love someone who does not even know how to value you or is just taking you for granted. So I guess we should just stick to whom we love, do not harm others and just let them be. But I agree that we should eliminate those SECOND people because they make no good to us. And of course we should never also become those kinds of people. Because what you do to others will surely be done to you. The golden rule.

actually you are correct about the fact that only three groups of people matter in one's life and as for me, my family belongs to the people who matter most in my life, my friends matter next and then other people who i meet while trying to make it in life and the last stage that matter to me

I believe you are right on how to make those people who are on category 2 and 3 to be people in category 1. Just what they say, "you teach people how to treat you" and also that saying that goes like "love begets love."
We should learn to love and care for us to be loved and care in return. For me, it's just like an echo, what you give is what you get.
