"People Are Hell"

So said Sartre about human relationships. The brilliant philosopher discussed that the only reason people interact with people is because we need them, otherwise the misery that they cause us would simply drive us all away from human contact in order to keep our soundness of mind. People drive us crazy, they make us mad, they make us miserable, and frankly piss us all off. But happiness can only be obtained through people and human contact, sadly it just seems that the happiness in human relations is slowly dying these days. People lie to one another, keep things secret that should be discussed, we cuss out strangers and hate people that we don't even know. Everyone is out for their own gain, people are only nice if it benefits them, otherwise they are hellions. Yet, we need them... I need people, I know this for a fact, although it is days like this when I think of those that I call "friends" when I truly wonder how miserable I could possibly be alone. I know it's a foolish though, I've only felt my happiest when with people, but sometimes there are days like todays that turn into weeks and months and even years. I remember my happiest days, when do I get to go back to them again?

"People are hell," says Sartre, and I'm too tired to argue. Another day, perhaps, I'll fight him on this, but not this night. Tonight I agree. Hopefully tomorrow changes things.
