Misanthropic

The more I see, hear, or read of people, the more I think I abhor the human race. The narcissism, elitism, two-faced-double-standardism; the jealousy, the pettiness, the shallowness, the vacuity, it makes me ashamed of evolution and come to think that we should have stayed in the sea.

It just gets worse. There really isn't enough of the 'good' sort to cancel out the 'bad'. Adults act like children, children rush themselves to grow-up... so that they can act like children. In these actions I see so much wasted potential it would make me weep if only I gave a damn; their actions prevent me from caring.

It's a world of 'me me me!' Perhaps if people closed their mouths more often and opened their minds instead, the world would be a better, enlightened place. But who am I kidding? Where there are loud, demanding and self-important voices there is nothing but hot air and noise. No hope and nothing to learn from here.

I think it's fascinating about how humans are all so similar yet so different. To become such a clever, personalized race is an incredible feat, and these adults that act young are just examples of the many different genius ideas of humans. Think of the big picture.

@Ghigog Thank you for your comment. I agree it is fascinating, but for how many billions there are its also rather depressing. There's not enough of the genius in this big picture, the ratio is far too slim, and for the feat of stupidity and pettiness I've seen today, well it leaves a poor pessimist like myself want to throw my hands up in the air. ;)

Just the fact that human emotion and personality is so diverse is just amazing! If we all came from one organism, we're all related, and yet we're all different! If you take horrible people, like terrorists, you immediately think bad of them, but think that you are all the same material and this material not only gives life, but uniqueness too :) in terms of numbers, they just add to the fact of human diversity :P this mass amount is what is the most fascinating.

If you think it has changed, the ratio of stupidity, it hasn't, it has just changed type. Also, stupid people are easier to notice, do they seem to cover a bigger area :P

So*

You were havin a bad day : p
