Watch Your Back

In my opinion, one of the most important things to remember in life is that everybody has their own unique agenda.

It's easy enough to forget that every human being has their own sense of perception crafting what they view as reality. The true reality is that there are billions of people with their own lives, their own ideas, and importantly, their own goals.

In life you will be deceived, you will be verbally shat on, and someone at some point will craft all the justification they need for the sake of treating you like shit. In many cases they will do this entirely guilt-free, and instead actually feel quite proud for doing it.

We live in an incredibly dynamic world. Ideas are shared almost instantly from anywhere in the world. With these ideas being open, people divide quickly into various cultural groups of which they feel they most belong. In my opinion, the reality is that for every single one of us, we are alone.

Be careful who you associate with, but remember that anyone can hurt you. People are selfish, but they have every reason to be. It's not cruel. It's simply a survival instinct at work.

Don't be afraid to let your guard down, but always keep in mind that everyone is ultimately out for themselves.
