[quote="Tora"]This world isn't lovely. Not everyone loves everyone. That doesn't mean that I don't. I care for every person that has ever walked this earth. Yes even the most evil of us all. Do I think there should be a death penalty for anyone? No. Do I think what people do on a regular basis is ok? No. Does me hating man for the things they do going to change what they do? No. If I could give my life to change this world once and for all I would do it in a heart beat. I can't change the whole world, but I'll be damned if I'm going to lose a faith in humanity and hate it. Yes terrible terrible things man has done, but from the ashes we shall rise like a Phoenix. Why hate man for what they've done when you can love them for who they are?[/quote]
You don't care because you care. You care because it makes you feel good about yourself. We all do. Nobody cares just because they can. There's an evolutionary imperative why we give a crap about our family and friends. And there's an evolutionary imperative why we don't give a crap about anybody else. If we loved all people indiscriminately, we couldn't function. You do not love everyone because you can't love everyone. People lie, especially if they want to be on the moral highground.
If you love everybody, even Adolf Hitler or Osama bin Laden. Heck lets just say if you love everyone, you're not morally superior or philanthropic. You're suffering from severe Stockholm syndrome.
Loving everybody is a recognized psychological disorder! Welcome to the world. Everyone's different, everyone gets treated different.
There's one thing wrong with your phoenix analogy. A phoenix dies of natural causes. It doesn't commit suicide.
Why would I want to love humanity for what they are and not for what they do? Sure, love Bin Laden, forget what he did, he's a man. Just like you an me.
