Indeed.

Some people don't like to see others having a better or easier life, albeit just in certain situations. They feel like it's unfair that they had to suffer, when the next generation doesn't have to, because of some new law etc.

Like some old people complaining about being hit at school, but instead of being against that, they're criticising how young kids are too spoiled and don't get enough tough love. I think they're just like 'Well, my life may have been hell back then, but I turned out alright'.

I hate that mentality.

It can feel like you're the only friendly person on earth when you're being kind and helpful, but everyone feels like that some time. So that doesn't mean you shouldn't be nice anymore because 'no one else is'.

People have become too cynical in these modern societies.
