On the whole, I dislike people. Hate might even be more accurate even though it is stronger and seemingly horrible to say.
On an individual basis, I like a person or persons. Very few individuals make it love.
Perhaps it is my nature that makes me this way toward people. I mean, it is not exactly as if I started out life well in developing trust, love, dependency and openness towards the people I came across. However, if you look at history and analyse people as a whole, I think you would be hard-pressed to not agree with me.
People are generally selfish, stupid, weak, lacking creativity, mindless and overall A-holes. Yes, I mean this.
At the same time, there are individuals that are capable of greatness. Now, this greatness can work towards leading people to be greater A-holes – take Hitler, for example. Or, this greatness can work towards leading people to be amazingly loving, open, caring and hope providers for the likes of me.
If I were to ask you to name great A-holes, I think this would come easily. How about if I ask you to name great positive individuals that contributed to the betterment of humanity? I am guessing this is a lot harder. Why?
Those who lead people to be better people rarely get or take credit. It requires people to not be selfish and recognize that it was not their great idea or benevolence that made them great; but rather it was an individual. Take Ghandi, for example. He is attributed as a great inspirational leader. For the most part, he protested and led people to unite for a common cause through non-violent actions. His actions had great effect. His credit has been given, but compare his fame with that of Hitler.
There is a great imbalance in our world and in society. I blame PEOPLE.
It is time for people to step up and stop being A-holes. Let the individuals who are capable of greatness lead the people toward a united greatness. This is what will make our world a better place. If you do not have such a person to follow, then don’t wait to follow – be the one who leads! ππ½
