the key to better relationships with people:
know that they are shit. its okay, because you are shit too. we are all shit, we all let each other down, and when you let go of all your expectations (with reason, because people cannot be expected to meet them) then you can be happy when they surprise you once in a while.
if you are another person on this planet...
i don't expect you to keep your word!
i don't expect you to be civil!
i don't expect you to act in a way that demonstrates to me that you are anything more than a monkey who breathes, eats, fucks, and occupies valuable space!
i will never expect anything from you, and that's how you'll know that i love you, because i will accept and sometimes even sympathize with your inability to meet normal standards of righteous conduct.
