people just aren't designed
to feel happy for people.
we are instinctively competitive,
selfish and envious.
the best we can manage is
pretend that we're not.
its embarrassing how much we
like to accuse others of it when
we are just as likely to be this way.
its all dark and gloomy for
people like us
with the inability to ignore even
the subtlest of human pretense
during social interactions.
it becomes even clearer that
people are great for the happier times
in life, and wanting anything more
would be ... inconvenient.
