If you think about it, at our primal core, humanity is selfish. When things come down to zero sum, i.e. limited food, shelter, mates, etc. humanity reverts back to it's primal core and all that jibber jabber about being 'enlightened' goes to shit. In my experience, the people who preach enlightenment the most are the quickest to shaft someone.
Shrug. I've seen many 'friends' do shady things when the stakes were high enough. I guess that's where true character comes in.
I guess my feelings of misanthropy are flow from my observation of hypocrites.
Back in 2004, I was one of the most liberal people you knew. Then I got shafted enough times by friends to realize that people, in a word, suck. Be careful to not let your guard down too easily.
