My question for the day.What are your thoughts on the human race?
Same with me. I regulate and know how much I can take in any 24 hours. I live alone and so it is easier. I like to study the people and enjoy some exchanges. I enjoy others most when we are doing something enjoyable together. Yesterday i went with friend Janet on an steep hike to a duck pond. The ducks were voracious and pushy! Janet was sweet and likes to just enjoy and abide, like I do. A perfect day. Now I'm good for a whole month till I see here again.
aloha OOS
my word you are spot on 100% agree I had what I thought was a best friend the when I moved some distance away I was the one that kept it going phone calls going up to see him.He always made excuses to come my way.Then one time he suddenly announced he was going to come and stay for a whole week.I had a lot on and it was a bad time but said why not come for a long weekend.He got bolshy and started being offensive so friendship ended pleased now it did
Do i like people? Individually - yes, I find people fascinating both when observing and when interacting. Collectively - less so.
People offer perspective whether they are similar or different to us. As a collective mass is where I have more difficulty, which I think is "society" rather than people per se.
What I struggle with is needing interaction but getting over-peopled easily.
Be kind road sign...Always pick up Your Partner after You have both had a fight outside the Nightclub on a Saturday Night.
To be honest, only a small percentage. I feel in modern society, majority of people are very selfish and relationships as a whole are transactional (in the sense that people only want to be around you if you have something they want i.e. money). Then, they dispose of you when you've outlived your usefulness.
Species.Knowing how to split the atom turns into a potential nuclear weapon.Knowledge = Power = destruction...
I think the more intelligence, the more self doubt.
I guess that you mean species as a whole? But within the human species, I'm not so sure. Then again, bright people think up the actual weapons... so maybe!
More intelligence = greater destruction.
Be Kind (road sign):
my view is there are around 10% very kind decent people I hope I may be in that 10% but that is for others to judge.I am afraid 90% are selfish and only do something if there is something in it for them
I feel the same. Thanks for responding.
I don’t hate people, I often don’t understand the human race. I sometimes despair at how evil some can be and also restored when I see acts of kindness. Unfortunately I think mankind will cause its own demise.
I love this answer. Thankyou.
Thankyou for your response.
I feel the same.
I fear your first paragraph is right.On the second paragraph, I think you're right that we seek pleasure and recoil from pain. But we possibly need other stuff too.People are interesting and the universe is. Let's stick around and learn more about it.
I like observing people. I find them beautiful, interesting, fascinating, but I also know I have to be careful because they are capable of awful things.
I like you if that helps? You're very sensibleDoing over thinking. I'm the opposite. I think too much. My NT friends have said that to me loads of times. I think there's probably a happy medium to be struck between thinking and acting. I need to get back to a place where I am not sat around ruminating all day. But also doing things.
I think it's certainly healthier to love people. It's hard work, though.
I enjoyed that song. Thanks for sharing it with me.
