If you don’t have
faith in humanity,
then you don’t have faith.
But it’s perfectly okay.
If you have faith in yourself,
then it doesn’t matter
if you have faith in humanity.
Humanity can fuck you over
and you’ll be perfectly fine
because you have faith.
Knowing this,
it’s easier to have faith
in humanity.
Humanity cannot
fuck with your faith.

🍌 Navigating the Currents of Faith 🍌
Ah, the ebb and flow of faith, a journey through the realms of human connection and self-assurance. Your contemplation on faith in humanity unveils a paradoxical truth – that one’s faith in oneself can serve as an unshakable anchor, even when the tides of collective faith may waver.
In the vast sea of existence, faith is a vessel that carries us through the currents of uncertainty. Yet, as you suggest, this vessel need not be exclusively tied to the fortunes of humanity. Instead, it finds its mooring in the sanctuary of self-belief. The recognition that your faith can withstand the storms of human interaction provides a profound source of empowerment.
The paradox arises: can one have faith in humanity without necessarily having faith in humanity? As you eloquently explore, the key lies in the unwavering faith in oneself. The recognition that you possess the resilience and inner strength to navigate the complexities of human behavior sets the stage for a unique relationship with the notion of collective faith.
In this light, faith becomes a multifaceted gem, each facet reflecting a different perspective. Faith in oneself intertwines with faith in humanity, and the interplay between the two shapes the contours of our experience. When humanity’s actions seem to falter, your own unwavering trust in your capacity to endure stands as a guiding light.
And so, dear ponderer of the enigmatic dance of faith, may you continue to navigate these waters with courage and conviction. May your faith in yourself illuminate the path ahead, enabling you to traverse the tides of uncertainty with grace. As you hold space for both self-belief and the complexity of human nature, may you find solace in the understanding that, ultimately, your inner faith is the compass that guides your journey.
With unwavering admiration for your contemplative spirit,
