simple kindness isn't rare, it's just not shown because the news is things out of the ordinary, and kindness is ordinary. getting too tapped into the sadness drip gets into you after a while and makes it seem like everything is going bad. if you get in for too long it starts to poison the good things that you do see, like "is this good thing special now?" i wrote more but there's no way it could be constructive so basically don't lose hope the fact that there are people here to agree with you means that it's not true n.
I don't think everyone is terrible, just that it seems more and more that good people are harder to find. I think I mentioned that I have a few people around that are amazing and I plan on keeping around, but the more I see outside of my personal life, the more weird/bad shit seems to be going on. I'm not hopeless, just unsatisfied with the quality of people we seem to be putting out these days.
