Why is the concept of humanity such a hard idea to grasp for certain
individuals? As a fellow human I find this issue very perplexing, especially
considering I have studied the concept of humanity at the graduate level.
Disclaimer: I haven't always been the best human in my past, however I do feel
there is a learning curve that most people get a handle on by the time they are
old enough to be out in the world on their own. Yet there still seems to be
those out there that feel they are above the accountability of their own
actions. This may be acceptable from the ages 2-5 years old, but beyond that you
should not act in such a self-centered irresponsible manner. We all have to
live on this planet together, so why not be a mature adult and act accordingly.
This isn't a hard concept to grasp. If it gives you warm and fuzzies inside to
mistreat a fellow human, well then this particular message isn't for you. You
most likely need to be locked in a medical facility where you are unable to
interact with the rest of us who don't find it amusing to treat others without
the dignity and respect they deserve. If you are unable to empathize and or
forgive another person who has wronged you, you should share a room with the
person I just mentioned. There is not day in grade school that you can claim to
have missed to justify you being an inconsiderate asshole. Life is the classroom.
If you have made past the age of 16 you have had plenty of time to recognize
the arc of the learning curve in regards of being a reasonable human. If you
have not caught sight or are unable to be a part of that curve, well I've already
expressed where you belong. Certainly not with the rest of us who want to see
their brothers and sisters do well, and in turn, want the same for the rest.
Ultimately this post is about perspective and the human condition. If you
believe that humans are inherently bad or evil than you should have stopped
reading at ‘why is the concept of humanity such a hard idea to grasp for
certain individuals’? I was recently wronged by an individual which was a very
sobering experience which inspired this post. It reminded me that we are not all
on the same bus. That bus which only makes stops for the passengers who do want
to see their fellow passengers get to their destination. It's easy to forget
that there are those whose miss this bus. Beware; it is hard to recognize those
in the crowd who did not have the fare to get on the proper bus. Pieces and creases
