The Selfish Giant

People are selfish. That's pretty much a known fact. Most of the world's population is completey and utterly selfish. They don't care how their actions affect the ones around them. Sometimes not even the people who you think are your friends. You want to think that if they knew the situation you were in, then they would act differently. Well if you thought that, then you would be wrong. Because like I said, people are selfish. They are in it for no one else but themselves. Sometimes you don't even know the people that your action affects, amd sometimes you know them well and do it anyway. Those are the kind, the kind that blatantly disregard others' feelings, those are the ones to cut out of your life. Those are the ones who only listen to you when it's convenient for them. Or those are the ones who would rather sit on their ass all summer instead of getting a job and keeping a promise. There are too many good people out there to let people like that waste your time. My parents used to call them "Fair weather friends". And you would think that I would be used to them, and able to spot them from a mile away after growing up in the town I did. But that never happens. Because those people will sneak up on you and disappoint or hurt you everytime. EVERYTIME. So there it is. Take it or leave it. Do with it what you may. But heed my warning. Put it in your pocket and learn from my mistakes.
