I've Lost Faith

I've had a few things happen in my life recently that have caused me to lose faith in humanity. Well, maybe not all of humanity, but at the very least, the few people out there who claim to be part of humanity and really have no right to that claim. Once again, I am floored by the actions of some individuals, and then I stop and think, No, I really shouldn't be surprised. It should not surprise me that there are people in this world who are nothing but hateful, insidious individuals who claim to be human beings. It should not surprise me that such malicious words could come out of the mouth of a person who, at one time, claimed to be my friend. It should not surprise me that an individual would act with such malevolence toward another person. But, for some strange reason, I continue to be appalled by the actions of those around me. When am I going to pull my head out and realize that there are very few good people in the world? I will say that I do feel very fortunate that I have some wonderful people around me. And, as for the rest of the world, it's going to take a hell of a lot for anyone else to become part of my life.

And P.S. the martini has nothing to do with the blog, but I deleted the post it was originally on, so I had to add it somewhere else.
