AS and Misanthropy

Post Reply New Topic

Who told you I'm not now? Religion can't blind me, like you, if you want my opinion. I can see that humanity is dead. I don't say that it's good. But it's better to be dead than to be an alive corpse.

You're in so much pain right now, you can't think straight.

By the way, I feel fine. I've had a great fun at my aunt's and today I came home, full of wonderful emotions. I have a number of photos, I guess you'd believe me if you could see them
But the pine woods I lived close to calmed my tired mind and breathed new forces into my body. I guess I haven't felt better since I graduated from the academy so I just can see the world clearer now.

I'm too detached from the world to hate the whole human race but sometimes I do. Generally I'm not that negative and try to be positive, key word being "try".

People who hate everybody and everything are not usually the happiest people.

Whoever is not a misanthrope at forty years can never have loved mankind.

your cognicentric bias and assumptions don't allow you to make sense of this use of lingua code.

I think its dark and a bit silly, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have its own internal logic.

Instead of being at odds with her or focusing on your polarity, try to see it from the perspective of poetic paradox.

When you live inside of binary thinking, you think its got to be either/or. Once you step away from it a simple way to express
a fundamental truth is to create a poetic paradox.

You not getting it is your miss, think about the difference between what her words mean to her and what they mean to you.

Hatred is too noble feeling and there are only few people who deserves to be hated. The most deserve only contempt.

The idea that this is her attitude is your subjective interpretation and somewhat your projection.

Hating the world is not the same thing as having the distance of death from it.

You're absolutely right. There are many people whom I love but talking about humanity on the whole...

-Do you have contempt for the human race?

Yes, I do. I watch their injustice: genocide, social mud slinging, and politics/formalities.
I feel that they squander their emotions and the planet, but that is because we live in a
society that knows better, but is designed so that the brightest are not the most powerful.

I feel contempt for humans because they lie so easily, and betray, and laugh at others so
easily.


-If yes, is your contempt exclusively for NT's?

I'll need to make a further thread for this, now that you've got me thinking, because do alternative people... the only ones that come to mind are the Gay/Lesbian crowd... count as NT?
... In any case, I dont begrudge anyone who has been victimized by society, despite the choices they made following.


-How do you entertain your vision? Do you see one single, happy human family (like a peace and love gathering) or wish you'd be the World Dominator who's victory is his (or her's), annihilate humanity and rest (alone) in your castle?

I seek neither. I see myself as one of the few in a position to help people.
Knowing that I probably wont have a fulfillable life of my own, I see myself as
the martyr who will save the people I care about.
Even in my vision I know I cannot stop every one of them from being victimized,
but I will die trying to save as many as I can.

mmmmm
i don't hate everybody

I wonder about this Sebastien Chamfort. Was he a misanthrope at nineteen years? Whoever he is, he's probably long dead. So we casn't ask him why he said that.

What he is saying is that THAT level of bitterness
can only follow on the death of a lot of hope and trust,
and that this is inevitable within a few decades at most
if you see the human potential and what people are not
doing with it.

That's called cynicism. Cynicism isn't a noble thing, and won't make a good man out of a bad man or a smart man out of a stupid man. You ever hear of lighting a candle instead of cursing the darkness?

I'm not completly happy with the human race, but I don't hate it. It's silly to hate your own species. Aspies might be different then non-aspies in the way they think and behave, but we're all human beings.
