I Feel Humans Are Horrible

they're whatever you feel about yourself

 

Oh, this again

My bad for not making myself clear in the OP but read the whole thread

I feel fine about myself, and about you guys, and about my friends and family. And I feel very fine about Canadians. You mentioned you were Canadian. Your countrymen and women are very fine folks.

I just got overwhelmed by all the bad shit in the news, it happens.

Not everyone is like me or like the decent people I know so this logic that how I view myself is how I view the world doesnt sit well with me.

Some people are just shitty people who do bad things to good people, thats just the way it is.

Most people ARE good though, I'm totally with Anne Frank on that one

 

Agreed. But unfortunately, sometimes jerks need to be dealt with so they KNOW they are jerks. If you don't deal with them at some point, they will keep running all over good people. There's too much of that going on now.

 

facebook was smart enough to start marketing itself toward old people. the original group that facebook was aimed at are using snapchat and instagram now.

 

I think there is an organization out there that give free classes in Vipassana (sp?)

Some of the best types of therapy, such as CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) use mindfulness meditation as their core.

I encourage you to not delay in taking up a meditation practice.

 

It may depend on how anxious or depressed you are though:

^that's interesting

I've practiced meditation before with good results, I need to get back into the habit of it

 

this is of course not at all accurate.
this is the hammer that makes everything else look like a nail.

but ass hattery is not endemic to the species.
nothing is endemic to any species.

humanity did make a mistake, allowing what is currently culturally dominant, to become so.

we have a culture, erroneously called western or conservative or even new world, none of which it actually is,
that romanticizes and rewards the worst in us, while condemning and ostracizing what is the best.

it is created by the same statistic we can participate each of us in changing,
by taking a long hard look at our priorities and what kind of a world together they create,
and by encouraging each other to do likewise.

just because there is no instant gratification in this,
however much it might occlude,
does nothing to change the simple fact,
that it does indeed work,
and is the one thing that does.

not saying there isn't a psychic,
invisible influence of perceptions,
rather only that culture is a tangibly observable emergent phenomena too.

 

If you give off a vibe or go n meeting new people with the thoughts of humans are a piece of shit the vibe you give off will be a piece of shit. Sounds like you might be depressed and maybe are afraid of people for some reason.

Anyways, try reading the good news or pick up a national inquirer or a fantasy book. Stop reading the bad newest, it is full of lies anyways.

 

Wait!



You are saying the National Inquirer isn't full of lies? HaHaHaHaHa

 

Not saying that but they are stories you can laugh at a lot. Bat boy lives don't you know?

 

So - you're tasking us with ascertaining whether or not the preponderance of - oh - 7 billion or more people, are nice.

What is your evidence that they are "pieces of shit" as you elegantly put it!

 

Oh you've never heard of humans doing very bad things to other humans and to animals and to the planet? You need proof of this?

I need to borrow your rose colored glasses please!

I think I've already responded to your earlier reply and clarified that most humans are decent. But the bad ones certainly do muck shit up don't they?

 

your sarcasm and anger oozes off the screen. Being a negative nancy doesn't help your case.

Seems to me you only like people you think you know. It does not make your friend not pieces of shit.

 

I am a sarcastic person but I'm not angry. Sad sometimes, irritable, cynical. Not angry though.

I'm surprised people seem to be personally offended by this thread.

I've already listed examples of what makes someone a bad person.if you aren't blowing up buildings or abusing your wife or drowning puppies, you're probably good

My friends are absolutely not pieces of shit

 

Anyways here's some proof

the rest of the universe is concerned, you'll never know how close it came to unanimity on a preemptive permanent solution,
logic however prevailed with the realization the problem will solve itself one or a combination of ways or another.

ecopocalypse seems the most probable at this point, humanity growing up is also a possibility.

 

Watching humans help animals always gives me a little hope. There's no evolutionary advantage to empathizing with another species that I'm aware of; I believe instead it represents the basic goodness of which the average person is capable.

People are not disturbed by this thread. They simply don't care for the negativity it brings from you. There is enough of it and you are asking people for good news, to restore your faith in humanity which you complain about links you clicked. Humanity is war, humanity is cruel but it is also good. You fail to stop clicking links you know are bad. You fail to see any good. Stop reading news and politics if it bothers you to the point of humans are a piece of shit because you start to behave like those you don't like. You treat people how you see them treating others, without knowing them. It is your perception that is the problem. If you meet new people with distrust and believeing they are "a piece of shit" you will be that to them

 

I've done this for years, and it still continues to work very well to this day.

Imo, advances in technology that hurt mankind makes humans horrible.
Just to name a few.
