Truth-Part 2 (Upon Further Review)
Posted by Shawn Romance
A misanthrope as defined by dictionary.com is one who hates or mistrusts humankind. Now I may be wrong but I feel this does grave injustice to me personally, when you claim that hate and mistrust are easily interchangeable. I would argue that mistrust thrives more from suspicion than from anger, likewise when was the last time you wanted to kill someone because you mistrusted them? I admit that I mistrust a great many people; and that may come from not being hugged enough as a child like I’m sure some psychoanalyst will say. However, I don’t hate people that I don’t know except for celebrities, and that’s their own fault.
Does this mean that I will build a shack in the Appalachian Mountains in order to shut myself off from all human contact? Maybe.
Just kidding, I don’t think I could trust those people very much.
