How do I keep my faith in humanity?

[Anonymous No.14983211]

Every day it feels like the world is falling apart. Selfish people. Racism. Hatred. I listen to my friends complain and bicker about things and I see places where I think they're in the wrong but I can't bring them to see that. Nobody listens to anybody else. I want to care for other people. What is there to be done?

look into any local socialist or anarchist movement in your city. They literally help feed the poor, fill potholes, go to neighborhood meetings, etc. in order to help other people. The world is suffering, so some try to alleviate the suffering of others. Call your family and tell them you love them.

They were ranting to me about their apartment roommates but it seemed clear to me there was mutual miscommunication and resistance going on. But they have hardened their heart and were no longer concerned about the other people's problems.
I wish people were more open minded. When evidence is brought to my attention that contradicts or expands my world view I try to respect and properly contemplate it and apologize if I was wrong about something. How hard can this really be? But it seems like so many people just pick out what confirms what they want to believe. Retweet the headline you do like, block the one you don't.

If you want to love man, you have to love him unconditionally. This means that you have to judge humanity not at any single instant or action, not by any exemplar of great charity or sin, but as a collection and continuum of actions stretching across time. Many people, when they look to the past and see the great cruelty and injustice that has plagued humanity from cradle to grave are struck with despair at how monstrous the human character truly is. But when i look back at these moments it fills me not with despair, but with the greatest optimism; for it is precisely that we can look back at the callous and casual cruelty of the past and recognise it as such that marks an important distinction between then and now. And it is in this distinction that one you can find something to love about humanity, something that can serve as the foundation of faith: Man's potential for change. This anon here >>14984182 says that placing faith in changeable creatures is absurd, but i think it exactly that we are changeable creatures that should afford you the most faith—for it means that the pettiness and faults in character you see around you are not a necessary and intractable parts of the human condition, but merely a particular expression at a particular time, cultivated by particular circumstances. When you see a flower wilted and dying on the vine, does it mar your opinion of the beauty of flowers in general? No, because we recognise it merely as a single instance, not a universal character of flowers. and it is because we know that flowers can be far more beautiful, given the proper care and environment. We are contingent beings, but of a special kind that has the ability of endogenous determination, meaning how we are lies precisely in our own hands. Thus, being both the sculptor and the clay, in regards to ourselves, there really is no limit to the summits we can reach, but so too can our nadirs stretch endlessly. If you view things this way, i think you can even come to truly love even the most detestable aspects of humanity as expressions of our infinite potential; that is, you can come to love man unconditionally. I don't hold nietzche in any special regard, but i do like this line from TSZ
>What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is an overcoming and a going under.
In this i think you can find a thoroughgoing optimism for mankind.

I can relate anon. I want to care for people, but I'm weird in the sense that I'm hypocritical because most people bore me and I have a selfish desire to hurt people if they inconvience me. It's like I like like humanity, but I hate humanity at the same time. I acknowledge humanity is capable of great things and that people are capable of great things, but at the same time I can't stand being around most people? The worst people are the ones who claim that they love humanity so much, because they disgust me with their inauthenticity. But then isn't the fact that I revert to feelings of hatred when under stress make me no better than them?

The whole thing has made me a mental wreck.

Very broad, a lot of socioeconomics reasons for that. Historically, racism and hatred decreases over time and it has. The only reason it seems like it's at an all-time high is because of the internet which is a battleground for outliers.
> I listen to my friends complain and bicker about things and I see places where I think they're in the wrong but I can't bring them to see that.
If you could be more specific that would be helpful. if your friends are truly negative and holding you down might have to confront them or leave.

I used to feel the same way, but in a perhaps twisted way, I developed a love for the folly of humanity. I love our irrationality, our stubbornness, and our misplaced passions. Because no other creature exhibits such complexity of feeling that eludes logical explanation. We refuse to go along with the clockwork of the universe, to be carried along by the forces of entropy. We ascribe meaning to things, and because they have meaning, we fight over those things. But I see that sort of bickering as a rebellion against an indifferent universe. As long as our conflicts are born of passion, I will always have faith in humanity. That's not to say I don't believe in minimizing the damage these conflicts do on others, but rather that I would have this imperfect, fickle and changable mankind, than a tame, neutered version of it that knows no passion or pain. At least that's my cope, anyway.
