I Hate Humanity

I’m getting thoroughly sick of the thoughtlessness of the human race, and I don’t exclude myself from this, as a species we are absolutely reprehensible and, if it does nothing else, the current panic buy culture just drives it home.

I went out after work on Friday to do my normal weekly shop only to find the supermarket absolutely desolated, no fresh fruit and veg, no bread, no milk, no meat, no rice, no pasta, no loo role, no soap, it was ridiculous.

I ended up going back on Saturday and it was possibly even worse, the shelves had been restocked, but it really showed just how horrible people are. There were people literally emptying the shelves faster than the unfortunate folks trying to restock could possibly keep up. People buying things in huge quantities while preventing others just getting what they needed. Blatantly ill people wandering around coughing and spluttering all over the place, making no attempt to cover their mouths.

I’m genuinely starting to hate the human race.

I must be hating wrong, I often hear others say “I don’t have the time” or “I don’t have the energy” to hate. I hate lots of people and lots things, but I find that it doesn’t really require any of my time or energy. Essentially unless they’re literally in front of me, or someone directly mentions them, then I’ll barely be aware that they exist. It’s only when I’m confronted by their existence that I feel the anger and distaste bubble up inside me and think to myself “I fucking hate you”.
