Sometimes

Sometimes it feels as though the only way to get ahead is to stop caring about others.
Sometimes it feels as though nothing good ever comes out of compassion.
Eventually the feeling of distrust both in yourself and others seems to take over.
Most of the time a slight depression and feeling of hopelessness arises.
I wonder why people feel that they have to take advantage of others in order to succeed.
Our world has been formed around this basis I believe.
So, what options do we have?
You can choose to give up or be abusive towards others.
Maybe with a little luck and a lot of hard work we can succeed slightly.
But the feeling of distrust never seems to go away, which is a shame.

I hope I can learn to trust people again. We'll see.
