Is it just my perceptions, or as you get older, people seem to becoming increasingly hostile, aggressive, authoritarian, controlling and evil?
Sometimes I think I'm going f***ing nuts.
I know what you're saying.
My assessment?
part projection, part true. When you were young you only saw everyone's nice side. Then you slowly got disappointed and realised even nice people have selfish agendas. You get so used to seeing people's shortcomings, you become blind to their good points.
Also we begin to realise we are not as perfect or as successful as we first thought.
What do you think?
