Why do we go around acting as though everything was friendsh

Summary

This quote highlights the disparity between the idealized concept of friendship and reliability and the harsh reality of hate and ugliness that pervade our world.

It challenges the perception of a harmonious society by acknowledging the prevalence of negativity and cruelty, urging us to confront this duality and strive towards a more honest and meaningful human connection despite these challenges.
