    The US. Believed in the “American Dream”, but the more I learned about the country, the more I grew to dislike it. It’s all a facade.

    And I used to have a lot of respect for old people, but that also changed. They are just as flawed as the rest of us.

      Old people who are assholes were probably always assholes. They were once young assholes and got older. Conversely, old people who are good, were probably good people when they were younger, they just got old.

      Most people don’t stray far from their roots. Few are those who make a meaningful change. Some choose goodness as a goal, some get their asses kicked by life and turn bitter.

      I guess the lesson is don’t be an asshole. if you are one, work toward being less of one until you aren’t one anymore. Try not to let life get you down. If all else fails, drugs.

      Or even more so! They also know a few social tricks to get what they want. Oh, I’ve seen it. Lol
