No because there are many people in the world that i depend on for various things, and many people who were and are kind to me. I am grateful to them, not liking humanity would be a disservice to them.

No, I am more of a philanthropist. I like good people.

I can't conceive of hating anyone I've never even met.
Even when I've met people I seldom hate anyone - even narcissists or manipulators.
I'll keep my distance but I don't have the time or energy to hate people.

Live and let live.

True hate is rare for me.

But I certainly am very disappointed, very frustrated, and do not like being a human and other humans being a human.

I don't know. If I truly do not care, I'll disappear from the public and do whatever.

I see everyone as helpless. In a sense that everything is predetermined that everyone is limited. Conditional.
Yet at the same time, have free will. In a sense that everyone has a choice and all those possibilities. Unconditional.

It may foster empathy, it may foster apathy.
What I have is this frustrating paradox -- in a sense as above so below.
Half seeing, half hearing the divine, half deaf, half blind and 'chose' to be distracted.


For now I settle with this hate driven obsession that leads into forgiveness. Kinda like how so much violence leads to gentleness...
... And vise versa, had I initially chosen that path.


I don't know.
Maybe my obsession lies with a particular law or laws in reality. Apparent misanthropy seems to be a byproduct of it.
Sort of the logic of hating books and schools because one hates reading.
