“We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.” – Albert Einstein

My Thoughts:

I’m not sure if this makes sense or not, but we can’t despair animals because we are not one of them. Therefore, probably Albert Einstein has something else in mind that I’m not grasping just yet. Regardless of what it is, I think the understanding of this quote is very confusing.

Human Beings

We sure might be human beings, but some of us just don’t act like it. Many of us are not there for one another and as if we are not humans. Probably being animal would suit some people better than being a human. Therefore, we just can’t judge all people the same way. We may all be humans, but we are all different to begin with. Some people might like shrimp, and another might just hate it. However, it is not the same with animals as they all tend to eat the same food.

Therefore, I think we are more complicated than it seems coming in as human forms. I think Albert Einstein had something like this in his mind most likely.

War

Let’s take a look at the Russian and Ukraine war as its going on for over a year now. What kind of humanity is this type of wars taking place for? In a way it’s Russia against Ukraine and United States as USA is throwing itself into the war in help for Ukraine. I wish USA didn’t have to throw itself into it, however this is an example of humanity. How terrible people really are towards one another. As I’m updating this in 2023, I hope these wars come to an end and USA also backs away from a war it doesn’t belong in.

Keep in mind to help one another and not demolish one another.
