I Am a Misanthrope

I always belived in the inherent goodness of people, always belived with the amazing things our species has achieved there is no obstacle we couldn't surmount.. But I've been doubting that belief latly.
There's still so much misery and hurt in the world, so much ignorance and willful neglect, how can people be so fickle and vapid in the face of so much cruelty? How do we treat people as if they are subhuman yet fawn over others as if they are saints? I guess we have always been this way. Sometimes I think Prometheus cursed us the moment he stole that fire, and made us what we are.
I miss having that faith in the human endeavour, because I don't know what to do or think about it and myself now.

I understand.

Believe me, living my life the way I do, it's very hard to keep that faith in humanity.

I guess we become colder when life gets harder or over a duration of time.

I see and feel it everyday.

It's sad.

But, once in a while, someone comes along who sort of changes your mind for a bit.

It's people like that that makes life worth living.

People like you.

Let's keep that faith.

We have to.
