Strongly disagree. If there's one thing I've learned in my short life so far, it's that following both the Golden Rule to treat others as one would want to be treated (which is secular and spans dozens of faiths) as well as taking it a step further and following the 2nd Great Commandment to unconditionally love others as you love yourself lead to a certain degree of inner peace and contentment than simply adopting a selfish "**** em all" way of seeing the world and treating others. It's hard to explain, but at least from where I'm standing, being kind to people and loving them -- even when they kick you in the teeth -- is worth it.
Come work with me for a month.
I don't treat people badly but let's just say I'm very less willing to do "favors" for people because the theme is always "no good deed goes unpunished".... 99% of the people we go above and beyond for bitch/complain/throw a fit our otherwise treat us like ****, so much so, I rarely do favors for anyone. I don't have appointments, you have to wait no "working in". You're 15 minutes late for your 30 minute appointment, you need to reschedule. You walk in already complaining about how long "this" will take.... I find 165272727 other things to do before going to see you.
Spend a month with me and you'll be fed up enough with people, you'd be happy to never see another person again.
