It has been stewing in me for quite a while and I thought that I would finally put it out. I identify as a misanthrope, not hard to these days, and I hate humans as a collective. Thing is, I sorta hate a lot of things: universe is a painful place. But do you know who I hate the most, after looking through the posts here and engaging with fellow people from the sphere? You, fellow "misanthropes".

We should be better. We should realize the pain of the universe, to understand it, and thus, to embrace it: instead, you whine about it and try to run away from it. In the end, you are no different from average man: rather than fight against what you hate, you run away and cower, you isolate yourself. Rather than try to cherish and protect the beautiful, you let yourself be consumed with apathy. You are not a misanthrope, you simply surrendered to entropy, and I hate you for it.

I misanthrope who walks the same path as the common man is even worse than a common man. To hurt is to live, and rather than living aware, you choose to decay.
