is the world a superficial sphere?

so today was a real wake up call to who i'd been around for far too long. these days people make decisions based on how its going to help them in the future. everyone is so caught up in making themselves bigger and better that they've forgotten who really matters and what actually matters. and im probably being very hypocritical saying all this, but sometimes its easier to see it when the situation is turned in reverse.
#1 mental note: stop getting caught up in the world of the social climbers
