Re: Are people cool or do they suck?
I don’t know if it’s possible to take hate away from people. Not even people like us, who’ve seen firsthand what hate can do. We’re all hurting. We’re all going to be hurting for a long time. And we, probably more than anyone else out there, will be searching for a new reality every day. A better one.

I know what I have witnessed, and now it is your turn.
prepare yourself for a journey into a world where each new step may give you a better understanding of your own reality. |

I think YoshL is pretty cool. He cool like the ice in my freezer. They're shaped kind of funky though, they remind me how people like me... need to change the hatred in everyone.

Re: Are people cool or do they suck?
people are self-serving, in that they maximize personal value added while minimizing cost. i think whether or not this makes people "good" or "bad" is largely conditioned and affected by what people know about a situation.
people got mad when GAP was found using essentially child sweatshop labor to make clothes. i'm sure at the time GAP went "oh, no, we never meant to do that, that's not what we do and we'll restructure our supply lines accordingly" but they kept doing it. because iirc according to local laws it's legal. if it ought to be illegal (leaving aside whether we, here, think it should or not), the people there ought to do something about it - but they might not, because the influx of labor serves an economic interest of the country. people got mad at mylan more recently, for raising the epi pen price while paying top execs a ton and incorporating elsewhere to not have to pay US taxes. that's all incredibly obnoxious as many have said, but it's still legal for now. that's a little bit of a distraction, but i like those as an example because they're places where a lot of us might see "bad". if you see big business as doing "bad" things, they're probably the most economically viable options which would await a "good" response. so it's all relative and gets into personal views on human rights and liberties, pretty much |

Re: Are people cool or do they suck?
Everyone has potential, regardless of the opinions or biases they are holding, once they realize we're cut from the same cloth. Regardless, some people refuse to let go of predispositions of concepts of what makes a person good or bad. But people can be cool if you get to know them fundamentally-- until you reach that point I wouldn't make any assumptions. Most people are just human, surviving. And part of me finds that cool in the sense that I can at least relate to them hugely.

Re: Are people cool or do they suck?
People are great big balls of emotional nonsense. Luckily we're equipped with empathy and rationality as tools for connecting with one another. At the same time, however, these tools are often broken or worn down, or other things get in the way like fear and insecurities. I think that most people are amazing, beautiful math problems, and it is a grand privilege to gain insight into their solutions through friendship.

Re: Are people cool or do they suck?
I think to assume that Good and Bad do not really exist, or that all people naturally skew towards being good really doesn't give credit to those who are selfless or generally display positive traits that do more good then harm.
Because being selfish and non-understanding is by and large the easiest and most rewarding way to live your life (every act you preform benefits you to some extent, after all) that you pretty much have to go against instinct to try and be charitable and forgiving. |

Re: Are people cool or do they suck?
my aimless conjecture on this subject is that as children, we tend to test our boundaries at a certain age, and if there is no reprimand for it, we can potentially continue to push our moral boundaries throughout the rest of our lives. most people i've personally encountered tended to have good intentions but i think everyone is subject to wanting to bend the rules at one time or another. i believe the extent to which one wants to bend the rules plays into their early life development
people who are deemed "immoral" tend to have suffered some sort of extreme hardship early in their lives. the most obvious example are psychopathic criminals and pedophiles, of whom a large number of were victims of abuse in their childhoods.. but then you have an outlier like jeffrey dahmer whose main hardship in adolescence was his parents' divorce, rather than an overly touchy-feely uncle, or witnessing his best friend get murdered or something else unthinkable. there are also "good" outliers too (i.e. experienced extreme hardship early in life but turned out "good") but i'm having difficulty thinking of an example there is no short answer to figuring out if people are naturally inclined to be good or bad. it seems to be a chicken/egg scenario
