False Optimism and Why Nice Guys Finish Last

It's hard to be optimistic when there's so much bad in the world. At times I really have next to no faith in humanity. When I hear stories of how some 'people' (and I use the term oh so loosely) can act, can treat genuinely nice people. It just makes me sick.

The worst part is I often get a read on people like that, yet I dismiss it as pessimism, or a read based on jealousy... and it's not something you can tell those at risk of being hurt. You have to wait... watch... and pick up the pieces as the inevitable happens.

I get no satisfaction from being right, and it pains me to see those I genuinely care about feel such pain... but what can you do? << An open question, please respond.

If it's not obvious by now, this relates to a girl (yes again)... I don't want to give too much detail as it would seem to me a breach of trust... and right now I'm about the only one she does trust.

This makes me rethink past rants in a way... I've always said why not the nice guy... but I've in a way finally had it explained to me. The nice guy does the right thing, and will give a girl time. The bad guy pretends to be the nice guy, and some times very convincingly, but he moves quicker, doesn't let the girl have time to think, takes advantage of innocence, naivety, and the fact that others have hurt her in the past. It's crude. It's sick. But I can see how it could fool far too easily.

Thats all for now... regrettably I can imagine there'll be more on this soon.
