Shellfish

As I get older, I seem to be more & more disappointed in other people, and their selfishness. 

My conclusion to this, is a) I'm a fool for expecting others to be more altruistic, and less self centered/self absorbed, or b) I'm a fool for giving too much of a shit about others. 

Either way, it looks like I'm a fool.

A quick internet search finds this:-

the philosophy of human suffering and pleasure seeking

Which features another thought currently on my mind; the relationship between existence, suffering and happiness. From Ancient Greece to Buddhism, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, it looks like humans have been pondering this relationship for millennia. I guess perhaps even longer ago from eras with unwritten records. 

But on a positive note, I'm also feeling happier than I have in years.
