Humanity is not all but lost

Steven Pinker: A brief history of violence

Humans are thrill seekers, they always crave for news about death, destruction and inhumane cruelty. These shocking images get stuck in our memory and we begin to generalize the whole human race as evil murderous bastards. Even though that is absolutely not true. This is not a good trait, because when you are pessimistic about human morality all the time, you'll become bitter, hateful and even become the very murderous bastards that you loath once. You practically duped yourself into becoming one of the "bad guys" without realizing that everyone around you is actually a lot kinder and rational.

Go out, meet more people, talk to them, you will know that most of them are not the closet murderer, rapist, madmen that you imagined them to be.

Humanity is not all but lost, we are making tremendous progress in coexistence, morality and the quality of a good, cruelty free life. Don't let a few bad apples and the media's portrayal of human nature dictate your lives and turn you into the very monsters that you hated.
