What is life if not for the people around us?
No matter good or bad, friends or enemies, they were a part of one's life history. One cannot expect a smooth voyage in this journey called life; there will always be choppy seas to cross and storms to weather through.
It is the same with people. There will always be someone crossing your path that you would rather have not. It is impossible to hope that we would meet only those who we prefer to associate with in this life, because it is beyond our control to dictate the paths of others.
The best way to survive is to learn from those experiences, no matter the outcome. And what did not kill you could only make you stronger.
But remember too, that one cannot cast everything in life in simple shades of black and white. Even the people close to us can sometimes cause more hurt than our sworn enemies. And then there are also times when rescue would come from entirely unexpected quarters.
Human beings are wonderful creatures, even in their various imperfections. Their diversity is what renders the planet in many hues, shades and colors.
And they always say that....
To err is human, but to forgive is divine....

I believe that everyone that we meet and every situation we encounter happens for a reason. The bad or evil people that have come into my life has given me a learning experience and different lessons in life. At the time you are in the presence of these people it sucks, but when you look back on it try to get something out of that whole experience.

I wish I never encountered at least 5 people. There might be more that I just forgot about.

None, really.
Even those who have physically hurt me or been evil human beings in general have helped in my journey. I would not be the person I am, Warts and all, if I had not had these people as experiential components in my Life.
I would rather change some of the ways I had dealt with some of the harder ones. But not delete them all together.

I think every person I've encountered has taught me a lesson in life.
Though some of the experiences were quite hurtful & difficult to deal with.
I might not be the person I am today if I hadn't met everyone I have.

not too many because I tend to feel people out before becoming either a friend or more than that...
