I would very much like to thank you for this quote. It so eligently states how I feel about humanity as a whole. We're an overpopulated, non-moralized, society that's strangling the life out of the very planet that we depend on to survive.
Zeraph hit it on the head earlier, true misanthropes indeed hate parts of themselves or their whole being. but seeing as misanthropes are more often than not very intelligent people we see death as a waste and learn to cope with what we're surrounded with.
Humanity is ugly, but the world is a beautiful place.

again my feelings exactly. though most people are fucking idiots, I'm not, and I never know when I'll run into someone like me that can provide me with a good conversation or some insight I didn't have before. and when I do, it's moments like that that make life worth living.

I think you got the context of 'kind' out of place in the word. It should read more like 'kind of man'. as in type rather than gentle. double meanings of words is one of the biggest disconnects I have with language.
