Life and things that piss me off

Have you wondered sometimes whether you are living your life the way you are supposed to? Is every human being on the planet following a set route in which the person has to follow in order to become who he is? Or is it really a random series of choices which send you down one road or another? What makes a person good or bad? I always thought that a good person is a person who is honest and truthful to everyone and cares for the welfare of the people around him, but why is it that this attitude always goes unrewarded. Its the good guy that always loses out...Its the honest guy that gets betrayed in the end. Its the person that cares that doesn't receive help when he needs it. Why?
Why do you have to be a bastard to succeed? I don't want to blame anyone for being smart (Yes Halian, I know...) But why does it have to be that way. I hate hypocrites and i hate dishonesty for malicious reasons, but why am i surrounded with these people? (Sir Halian, Sir Arik and Lady Raihan, My Queen and those that i have named as friends excluded)
I have personally known someone who deliberately lies and colours the truth so that she could get an advantage...no one is spared, not even her boyfriend. Why? wouldn't life be a little empty when you have no real friends? Why lie?
I am hereby vowing never to be hypocritical (never was) never to be malicious (except in debates) and to strive for success in life by paying as much attention to the people around me and caring for their needs as much as possible, I vow to honestly work for a living and not exploit the talents or the disadvantages of others, I vow to become a better person and make people around me feel better as a result.
So help me i vow to live for the future generations, to prepare them for the world, to give them faith iin themselves and the tools they will need to project that self confidence. I vow to strive to be a better Muslim, to make my Creation worthwhile, to seek to better understand my Creator and His many mysteries. I vow to smile more, to laugh with others or otherwise keep silent, i vow to be the best me i can be.
