About This Quote

When I look back on my life and realise how many interesting and wonderful people I have encountered, I am humbled by the fact that I will never stop being surprised by the ways people make hell. Sometimes, those people don’t even do anything, but they make hell for those who do. They make it so that those who try to do the right thing rarely succeed, and those who want to do wrong never get caught. And as such, those who try to do the right thing are often disappointed and those who want to do wrong often get away with it. It’s strange that we have a society where people have a hard time trusting others – yet people will happily believe that everyone is out to cheat them.
