        It’s a paradoxical trap: a general loathing/hatred for your own species, while also doing what you can to help and improve those around you without expecting compensation. It’s less about empathy and more about my own moral obligation/responsibility, all while I watch humanity hang themselves by their heartstrings.

          How is it paradoxical? Hating something and trying to improve doesn’t seem paradoxical at all. Further more, i forgot. Anyways I was saying if you hate it, it seems logical to try to do better or not do what you hate from it or whatevs idk.

              sorry could you rephrase that plz? Does it imply all people are trying to do better than the others? Besides I said or not doing what you hate too and all of the other part but I guess it doesn’ matter I can’t really argue much in this context.

                Basically this: how I think and believe humans should behave is not the way they actually behave. Many are hypocrites, saying one thing and doing another. They can be cruel and selfish, from simple malice all the way to repeating history through wars and killing. You never really learn the lessons given through life, and the worst part is that you teach your children to do the same thing. The thoughtless herd mentality, following trends and propaganda like it came from the sermon on the mount. The utter disregard for life and the planet, trashing the environment, and especially the abuse of other “lower” species. You’re the only creature that goes directly against the flow of nature and it’s killing the planet and everything on it. Even Gaia is trying to scratch you off her back.

                It’s not that I have hate in my heart, quite the opposite in fact. It’s just hard to love a sentient species that acts like a virus or cancer.
