Human Hypocrisy

My favorite thing is when human beings say that humans are horrible. Something being determined as horrible must mean that there is some pre determined set definition of goodness. If these people could show me what description we would need to fit in order to be good that would be great. But alas no one can, not a single person. This is why totalitarianism exists, if you generally force everyone to follow a certain standard of living there is no living. Not only that but its impossible to make everyone feel and think the same. There isn't and will never be one sole way of living and doing things. Thats why when a human being says that humanity is bad it just makes me laugh because they are also a part of it. There is no separating yourself from humanity. We will only know what we know, without knowing how can we not know, knowing that we don't know is knowing something, or do we truly know nothing at all.
