Why do certain people have many ulterior motives/agendas?

Question

Can't they just choose to be happy, positive, and love instead?

Answer 1

Ideally this world will be a lot better if there are no people like that around. But sad to say it is a reality.

The best antidote to that would be not to be "too trusting". If they cannot achieve their goals or their bad deeds they will stop. It is an art that you will have to perfect as you age. Experience will be your best teacher. You will be hounded with this lot and will be victimized eventually, It is quite painful esp if you get it from a close friend.

This world is full of evilness so be careful! Hope you don't get it too painful or too expensive.

Answer 2

There is (almost) no such thing as a truly selfless act. We are required to look after our own interests in lilfe--no one else is going to look after them for us...

Since everyone you meet is doing the same thing, we occasionally come into conflict. IN general, though, one person meets another who's personal desires are not incompatible, and those people maintain a relationship. (we call it "love" but when those motives diverge, it all falls apart.)

WE don't broacast our motives, because thats te fastest way to be tricked into satisfying someone's "incompatible" motives...

Being happy, maintaining a poitive attitude, and seeking love are all Alterior Motives.

Answer 3

no that would be 2 easy, ppl suck not all but most. fake friends, cant stand them. ppl that bring you down, shouldnt be around. get rid of negative energy, the more negativity in your life the more down you will be, so dont let someone else pull your dreams from you, let them get their own.

Answer 4

Human selfishness is nurtured in our society and this is an unfortunate consequence of this,,,
