The Rage Virus has taken me.

James, don't expect much from people. I don't mean this in a gothomgstabface way people will hurt you wahh wahh wahh. I mean it's I think, actually more proper to not expect people to live like you live or understand things that you may consider 'common sense'. In that light, any relationship you create with other people should be able to go from 'best buddies in the world' to 'no strings attached I will never call you again' at the drop of a hat. That should be in the open. Don't depend. Don't expect. There's nothing more arrogant than 'being dissapointed in people', because it passively paints you as being above them, having a moral highground that I don't think really exists, and this all only happens to help you cope with rejection. The only one that has to live up to your own expectations, is you.
