The Older I Get, the More Hardship Exists

And the more cynical I become. People are not generally good these days, in fact, quite the opposite. And to the extreme to the point of malignancy. Which makes getting anywhere an uphill battle. Lately, I have yet to encounter anyone that could prove me wrong. Do you still believe that people are generally good intended?

There are definitely some truly awful people in this world, but I do believe there are some pretty wonderful people too. I really wish that you could move from the city that you live in. From your discussions it doesn’t sound like a good place to be.

Besides my own parents and brother, I haven't really come across generally good people. They have their falls sure, but they are insidious people. I am on the look out for insidious people. You know me and my trauma.

And you know me and my trauma too. If I were not a responsible person, I would do damage around here.

It is hard to trust people these days with all the scumbags around. But there are still some good people in this world. Don't give up hope!

Why am I having such a hard time answering your question? I think we all like to hope the good people are out there. But then there are the wolves .

The only people I interact with anymore is my daughter, different doctors and the people on myLot. I'm sorry you've been having problems.

Since I have no idea about the people who live around me I keep myself to myself and I manage pretty good,

I do believe that good people are still around. 99% of the people I interact with in "real" life are decent human beings.

I agree with you, nobody really cares nowadays, everyone is just thinking about themselves

The number of compassionate people are decreasing day by day. People are always eager to exploit you and if they can't they harm you. Therefore for old people like us life is a struggle.

I would want to believe there are more good people but when you see the situation outside, it seems that people either do bad or do not do anything at all

Time takes its toll and everything becomes just that little bit harder, every day. Difficult to remain positive

There are still good people around. But a lot of people are getting selfish.
