Do you love humanity?

[max-greece]

I'm more keen on the female members myself. Male members have never done anything for me.

Despite all of our imperfections, we are still a fairly intelligent species.
Combining our intellect with the resources available to us, we construct impressive devices and equipment to further boost our societies.

I hate when people say this. We are smart relatively to everything else on this planet, but we are still a dumb species.

Yes, there is bloodshed and violence everywhere on this world, but generosity and good-will also exists among us.

There are two sides of the coin. Don't focus on only one side.


In any case, we should be proud to be humans and not cockroaches.

I do. I love easily, probably too easily.

It's good that you don't mimic the solid distrust many of us harbor. Don't let the extreme antagonism of others infect you!

However, letting others take advantage of you is being too loving. "Trust, but verify."

Opposites attract!!

I 'love' quite a few people (storge and phillia love, at least), but do I love humanity, with their ignorant yaps at one end and their smelly feet at the other? No.

I'm neutral on the subjct of Humanity.

Humanity. Wouldn't say I love humanity. There are a lot of faults within the species that need to be dealt with. In fact I can honestly say that at times I hate humanity as a whole.

We have so much potentials but we're too stupid to stop slaughtering each other, we're basically crapping in our own nest so it is in danger of becoming uninhabitable for us, and a huge percentage of us deny the sciences that could help us as a species.

On the other hand I love many individual humans.

Yeah, what Beccs said.

My question is simple.

Do you love most humans on earth despite their false beliefs and flaws?

No.

My life is valuable to me, but only to me, though maybe perhaps a very select few other people, and while I don't wish suffering, pain or harm on the other humans on the planet I'm of the firm opinion that humans are probably the worst thing to ever happen to the Earth and the other species on the planet and if we were to go extinct tomorrow it would probably be a good thing for the other plant and animal species on the planet.

And as others in the thread have stated, I think "love" is too strong a word in this context unless you dilute it down to the christian definition of Love with a capital L, in which case it loses most, if not all, of its meaning. If you Love everyone, then what does it mean to love your SO? Nothing.

Save the word love for when it actually means something.

I would rather say I have some amount of compassion for almost everyone on the planet because I can relate to the plight of being human, and that I have a good deal of compassion for others despite their beliefs. because I know what its like to hold a false belief, or a belief I have come to discover is false. But that doesn't mean that I love them, nor do I respect them despite their beliefs; I can't love or respect a person I don't know.

[Doggey75]

No. In a whole. Humanity is like a bad parasite on Earth. Does more bad than good.

My question is simple.

Do you love most humans on earth despite their false beliefs and flaws?

Yes, and no. I love the best that we are and are capable of. Likewise, I despise the worst we do and are capable of.

I don't even know most humans on Earth. How could I possibly love them?
