    This all disappoints me in a way that I have never been disappointed before and it genuinely makes me lose my faith in humanity in its entirety.

    I used to think that, in general, humanity was good. There are of course bad people, but humanity as a whole isn’t bad. Then I saw the world’s reaction to covid and had this exact same experience. Humanity is arrogant and selfish. A giant asteroid could be hurling towards the planet with a guarantee to cause the extinction of all humans but if the way to avoid that extinction involves the average person being slightly inconvenienced, we’re all dead.

      I was the same. I always thought humans were inherently good, but then Trump got elected and a lot of the public took their masks off. I now believe that humans are inherently not good, and that people with compassion are the exception. I am so angry and disappointed with the world. I have lost all faith in humanity.
