I respond by learning to accept and love them. People use me and laugh at my kindness. But as I learn to be loving, I'm always happy, regardless of the response of others. Loving others is the greatest joy in the world. People are good and I assume they're bad.
People are basically good and want to do the right things.
They attack and manipulate me only because they're needy and afraid. And again, I become the monster I wrongly assumed everyone else to be. People are good and I assume they're good. People are basically good and want to do the right things. They attack and manipulate me because they're needy and afraid.
