I like the Scrod approach... He posted something a few days back (IDK where) that I agree with:
Don't expect kindness or compassion from anyone.
That way you are OK with ppls being stupid/rude (the real world) and you feel truly grateful and happy when someone actually is kind to you, which likely won't be most of the time.
