I Hate Humanity

I hate humanity. Why? Because they never care when others die. They only pursue their own wells, Not even thinking if they hurt anyone else. You'll probably say that not all humans are bad, And I agree, because if that'd be so, I'd go mad. However, the good ones out there are so few That it makes me think about how untruthful is this view. "You say all of this just for show!", you might say. But believe me when I say it, clear as day, That humanity ruined most of my life And nearly made me cut my veins with a knife.

I'm glad you didn't cut your veins with a knife! Just as humanity can ruin; it can also help rebuild. We have such short lives (relatively speaking). I'd rather use that time wisely than cutting it short.

Hello, SKAt. I'm really sorry that I haven't answered you sooner, but I've been too busy, and, to be honest, too lazy to check into the Soup. However, now that both of those problems are gone, I'm happy to thank you for the warm welcome and say that I'd be glad to be a friend of yours. With that being said, I guess I'll see you around!
