mine is that people in general are bad and terrible and my ideal life would be as a hermit with very little interaction with anyone except my animals and plants and no impact from people or governments and never reading the news.
when i was young, i was optimistic about the future of the human race but reality has bitch-smacked my inner child and taught me the truth and it keeps getting confirmed the older and older I get.

Stop trying to solve every problem you come across, especially if your help wasn’t asked for. Most of the time when someone is expressing a problem they are just looking for a sympathetic ear.
