Selfish

I find it so hard to believe that people are filled with enough selfish views that they would be willing to take advantage of a friend, but I'm finding it more true everyday.

There is a friend of someone close to me that I have tried very hard to like and made an effort in being polite to them. Just when they start to inspire the smallest amount of trust in me I find this person burned by their friend's self-centered ways. It just seems like every favor they do for someone or every kind act is hiding something much uglier that will eventually benefit themselves.

I have LIVED with someone like this and I have to say, it's a very hurtful and distrusting road. You learn that you can't trust everyone and not everybody has the same goals as you.

Some people are trying to reach out to people around them while others are looking for people to latch onto. Some people are trying to better their own lives in the long run while still doing something for their community while others want to find the fastest way to money, fame, and whatever else the center of the heart truly desires for the moment.

It all makes no sense to me, but I truly care about this person so I will be keeping my mouth shut until I'm needed to pick up the pieces...
