There is a wise saying which states that if you want to know a man's character, give him power. I would add that it is enough to just give the illusion of power and that would be enough. And, as bad as it sounds, money, power, status, are all great ways to test people. Friends and family included.
I think it is better to know when you deal with such a person and admit it, first to yourself. People can say all sorts of stuff only to deny the reality: brown is brown, there is no use putting a pink ribbon on top.

Money, power, status; people have given those things a bad name. No matter how aware one is of the dark side, and tries to be responsible with their influence, they still get treated as if no effort was made. When one tries to avoid darkness, it pushes back and tries harder to get in. When you're being honest but someone pushes and insists you're being dishonest, that hurts, and there's no real way of reversing it.
You're right. I always think that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. I personally prefer to just erase this kind of people and move on. Life is too short to sit in a smelly toilet 😂
Life is way too short, but there's no sense pondering solutions, trying to find ways to live longer, like we did last time, since it only made us older.
