this is true. and I didnt claim any wisdom, just a lot hard-earned experience. and from that experience, I've learned to doubt and mistrust most people. and especially to mistrust large institutional groups of people (government, religion, political parties, etc.)
I think you'll find as you grow older, will, that most people only have their own interests at heart, usually not their best interests, but rather their wants and desires, however sordid they may be. and because of this, they often hurt others, as well as themselves, not only biting the hand that feeds them, but even that which is trying to help them. and it's because of this that I think penal rehabilitation is doomed to, at best, a very low rate of success.
