The following is directly copied and pasted from MSN where I sent a long message to a guy from Werelist who I've talked to recently and debated with about human-kind. Due to her own unfortunate past personal experiences, she would tell me that friends aren't worth it, and they will more often than not stab you in the back, and humanity as a whole is completely destructive, and there's nothing good about humans, and how she would like to destroy them all because of this, and all that.

Hey, I know you aren't online now, but I thought I'd let you know a few personal examples of the good of people nowadays. The other day, a college student helped an old lady in a grocery store to get groceries off the higher shelves. Neither knew each other. I saw it, and felt good about people. But, last night, my friends, who I'd only recently met, saved my life basically.

We were out at 3 AM to watch the meteor shower, and we got locked out of my truck. All I was wearing were jeans and a T-Shirt, and it was around 30 degrees. The company that was gonna send someone out to help was gonna take at least an hour and a half, and we didn't know what the hell we were gonna do.

But, someone back on campus who we called was able to get a truck and a few people together to come and pick us up. At 4 am in the morning, they were willing to come help us, out in the middle of nowhere, even though they had classes the next day, and we woke them up. Then, when we got back to campus, I was already at the point that I was so cold, I was sick and throwing up.

But, because I'd called out the company to unlock the truck, I needed to be back there when they arrived to confirm it all and to drive my truck back. But, I was having a hard time even walking.

So, my friends who had been out there just as long as I had let me go in and go to warm up and sleep while they went back themselves to watch out for the people, and then they drove my truck back for me.

I was so lightheaded, everything was spinning, and I was feeling really sleepy, and not in a good way, but because I was helped up to my room and into bed where it was warm, I was alright. If I had stayed out there until the company had come, I probably would have suffered from hypothermia, or worse hypothermia, if I did already at that point, from the chill and the wind.
If I had gone back out there to meet the people later, I would have likely had the same thing happen.

If I hadn't had my friends help me, I actually could have possibly died from it. But, because of them, I'm alive now, even if I am sick as hell and feeling like crap still.

Anyway, there's a perfect example of what I meant a while back about the good of humans. Sure, they have the potential to be destructive, as we both know, and they definately cause a lot of issues in the world, but there's definately good in many parts of human-kind, and it really makes me have faith in humanity as a whole.

Like I've told her before, when you look out at a deserted wasteland from 50,000 feet above ground, all you see is the horrible sight of death and destruction, and if there is any life
that you can see, it's of plants covered in thorns, and you see nothing good about it whatsoever. You may even feel like just destroying it all and making a new start from scratch because you learn to hate it so much. But, you get down there in the thorns, and walk on the ground level for a while, and you'll occasionally come across a rose or two in the thorns, or some other sights that really make you think twice about it. Look some more, and you'll likely find things that'll be so incredible to you, that you'll find you can't imagine wanting to destroy it all anymore. Hell, there are some things there that make you want to protect it all.

As I've told her, you find that rose in the thorn bushes, and find something worth protecting, and then see if you feel the same way about destroying humanity. Just something for everyone to think about. lol


By the way, the meteors were really cool!
