Jesus fucking Christ this is cynical.

It's really bad out there. Cynicism is at levels I never imagined growing up in more optimistic times. We are surrounded by wonders and have all the opportunities to reshape our world into anything imaginable but we all collectively decided to sit inside, read how other people are miserable, and internalize that misery so we're also miserable, even though all we've done is read about other people's feelings.

Our species's default mode is to be cynical and lazy and I hate it.

Oh, the irony... A less cynical perspective would be that as a whole humans are pretty empathetic, and most people want to live in a world where everyone is happy.
