that is very true and you are very much right.. but that's life. people will come and go, stay with you or leave you. some people are there to teach you a lesson, some people are there as a blessing. just learn who you can trust and appreciate the real ones in your life as they are very, very rare. not everyone is willing to show their true self and be caring and loving towards people, so be grateful for those people and make sure not to take them for granted, as we don't realize the importance of things until they are gone.
Best of luck in your life! :))
