This is probably one of the most important things you can learn in life and sadly one that the majority of people fail to learn/understand.

I find people in general (even those that are empathetic and caring towards friends/family) lack empathy for strangers/coworkers. It really shows in everyday life.

The older you get the more you realize that so many people have such terrible things going on, but still go out and live a normal life, because that's all you can do. And people in general are just so ****ty/uncaring towards eachother.
