its 2017 now so here's some new years advice:
human capacity for kindness will always be limited while human capacity for cruelty will always be limitless
society rarely improves but is excellent at pretending it has so people will fool themselves into thinking things get better
faith in humanity is a terrible thing for anyone to have
optimism is nothing more than a slow-killing poison
all of human behavior is a series of chemical reactions in the brain and there is no true randomness so really every action every human has ever taken and ever will take was already set in stone from the very first moments of the universe

Happy new year's day everybody!
