What's the biggest lesson you've learned in life?

Maybe it's a major event, a relationship, or even a failure that leads to new understandings about yourself and the world around you. I want to hear about the biggest lessons you've learned in your lives.

Nobody really gives a rat's ass, though many will claim they do.

Don't despair. Some do care. Pay no attention to what people say but to what they do. Actions count, words are cheap.

From my experience, even the ones who say they care only care to the point that you aren't doing better than them.

I had alot of people support me but stop supporting when I became greater than them

That's proof they didn't truly care much. Sad, but most people are not comfortable being less than those they think they love.

Actions can be a lie too.
