I can literally feel myself caring less and less for others as I get older, im only 29 but everyday I feel a little more bitter at the world. Anyone else ever feel like this? Is it just a phase?

Welcome to the dark side. In all seriousness, while I care about a few close people I find I care less and less about others. This has a lot to do with really seeing the world how it is vs. the ideal I clung onto for many many years (that the world was full of love and goodness deep down).

It is pure math. Care decreases by the square of one's age. For instance: Ice at age 60 [(60-29)^2] gives 961 times less of a fuck than you do.

I challenge the math here... wouldn't you have to subtract the squares themselves? 60^2 - 29^2 = 2759? I think you are understating the amount of lack of care Ice has. Though I may have missed something entirely....

Yeah I'm right aren't I! Lol.
You can't subtract x^2 from y^2. X must equal X to subtract directly.
Blazed out of my mind I was thinking I had successfully questioned all of math.

That doesn't mean you can do anything which is how I read your statement.

You just contradicted yourself in that one sentence. Which is it? Do you really think you can become superman and make the earth spin backwards? How much time do you need. I can wait.

Source = beginning maybe? The start of any and all potential is him or us or you or the tree or the planet or the sun or it or anything.

I'm sorry but this is the best answer. He DOES have the chance and opportunity to find happiness. Himself is the source of all his potential. Him seeking happiness in whatever finds him happiness will bring him happiness. His care for others will only diminish if he doesn't let himself care for others.
Start with something basic... be that one car that lets everyone by in front of you. Make sure you're the one that does it. At a stop light... see someone with the blinker on? Slow down and let them in front. The feelings you feel when you care for others... don't ever go away. What goes away is your want to do it.
Edit:
He may not have EVERY chance and EVERY opportunity... and he may not be the supply of ALL potential... but all his potential... all his chance... all his opportunity starts with him and will end with him.

I was sitting on the river bank earlier, meditating on death. I was imagining someone coming from the brush behind me and grabbing me by the head and savagely cutting through the meat of my neck. Feeling the warm blood gush into my throat and choking on my blood for a few moments as I feel my face going as cold as the breeze that was licking it, fading out into the static buzz that precedes unconsciousness. And other scenarios of the like. This world is beautiful, albeit harsh. Humans too... Ugly and beautiful...
Wisdom is a bitter drink that leeches into the soul, its natural for it to sour the mouth until you grow used to the taste. I've found with time my bitterness has eased into understanding. Which to keep it simple, has allowed me to grow into a compassionate misanthrope.
I care about people and often help them, (I am one after all...) I love serving my community. But by all means and for reasons that should be obvious, I take the sound of wind in trees over the social machinations and presence of other hominids whenever I can.
-------------------- To be human is to be fettered, to endure what one is, in perpetuum, no matter what the debility or perversity.
