Tom-
Don't sit around too much pondering the fact that once you emerge from your mother, life
becomes an accelerating slide back into nothingness. Do observe people in a different
context. Study ants and their behavior, read Richard Dawkins and get some understanding
of how cultural memes work. People are like ants.
In response..
1) They are suppose to do that, they can't help it..its their groin not completely their
choice.
2) Some people learn what it takes to make money, get money, get their stuff and don't
hurt people.
3) A lot of destructive human behavior is really like crows driving away hawks from
their territory. Its about resources not inherent drives to self destruct.
4) People hurt your feelings. Betrayal in business is everywhere. Its about resources.
5) You are the only judge here.

Take a dozen nature walks with a magnifying glass and stop analyzing those assholes
around you. Talk to someone in person about your feelings.
