What restores your faith in humanity?

Knitting. I knit hats, sweaters, scarves and other things for charity during the winter months. Well, I knit them during the summer months, then donate during the winter ones. I really like making hats for the premeies.

Ironically, this narcissistic desire to look past our flaws and revel in the best of mankind instead of actually facing up to our problems and constructively improving ourselves only serves to make me lose more faith in humanity.

Humanity is composed of over 6 billion people, the actions of a few people no matter how good or bad can't add or subtract your faith in the rest of the 6 billion people only in those few select people. Besides humanity as a concept is too broad and impersonal for me to have faith in anyway, I have faith in individual people which is far more relatable and personal a concept to me.

In my own frame of mind topics like these are totally pointless. Besides I have no problem with humanity facing up to its problems, as a Christian the concept of sin doesn't allow me to be easy on human beings for their failings. We are very flawed but there is also a capacity for good that isn't given enough credit.

Being a Christian should make being easy on humans for their failings much more easy not harder.

I don't have any faith in humanity, why should I? What should I have faith that humanity will do?

Our brave soldiers give me hope for humanity. Their job is rather inglorious, dangerous their pay minimal but they do it anyway, because it is right. It is the greatest inspiration to me and I hope one day soon to join their ranks.

Whenever there's a new Miracle of Sound, usually. Other than that I pretty much nothing majorly restores it.

 

[Reaper69lol]

I'm going to have to go with, nothing. Nothing at all.

 

[Nouw]

Nothing. I never lost mine.

Hit the nail on the head. I've never lost mine and never will lose mine. If a few people doing something stupid is going to lose your faith, I guess a few people doing something intelligent is going to restore it!

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Sweet fuck all. My faith in humanity isn't based off filtered news of different actions or the things I see in the street. My faith in humanity doesn't diminish when I hear of something bad or increase when I hear of a good deed being done. If yours does then you're a fucking idiot.

....Cartoons...After 28 years cartoons still find ways to impress me and put a smile on my face.

Searching... searching... target not found.

Let me get back to you on that one...

His name is Narayanan Krishnan. And if his story doesn't restore your faith in humanity, I know not what will.

8,000+ years of social development since the agricultural revolution, on top of 200,000 years of species evolution. It's a feat unique in the history of the earth.

Humanity doesn't exist to please the ideals of individuals, but it's done a damn fine job of developing itself. If you don't have faith in that achievement, your faith is probably misplaced.

That there will be another Mechwarrior game. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over.

I presented my little sister (nine years old) with my copies of Dragon Age 2 and Baldurs Gate 2.

She only plays the latter.
Faith in humanity: +9001

I always hear people talking about how they dont want to live on this planet any more, or their faith in humanity has been ruined by something. So I want to know. What makes you happy, cheers you up, or restores your faith in humanity?

Memebase; when CoD finally got slated for being a product of a cash whore; Justin bieber having more dislikes than like on his videos; Foo Fighters; This website; when news anchormen just go "that's a crap story" but not literally. Just things that 5 years ago the whole western world moved towards an incredibly poor vibe, that today such things are considered ridiculous (like I was saying 5 years ago).

Things that make me still facepalm include: The X-Factor; 90% of the music industry (Wow, you can sing! big deal, so can a lot of people - you just got lucky); Religious Zealots; Some laws, politicians & governments; Health & Safety; etc. etc.

My faith in humanity was lost?

 

[MintyNinja]

Listening to George Carlin and other cynical, angry comedians. It's ironic, I know. But at least I'm laughing out of anything other than despair .

Edit: And Skyrim will help nicely.
