I hate people

This might be among the most popular sayings I've ever seen. Normally it's posted when someone has a bad day or when someone is having a temper tantrum, but if you have bad days every day and have temper tantrums every day, than the problem is on you, not "people." I think it's a juvenile and ridiculous statement, and I'm here to tell you: if you "hate people", don't expect them to love you back. 

First off, when you say you hate people you show your mindset. Clearly you are angry and unpleasant-no one would say they hate people if they were otherwise. Next, by saying you hate people it gives "people" the right to hate you back. Remember that idiot in high school who said they "didn't care what others think."? Yeah, if they don't care, neither do we. And if you hate people, expect to get treated the same way back. 

People are capable of great evil, and great love. Instead of focusing on the negativity, it might be best to focus on the positive aspects of humanity.
