    I have this post to offer: https://www.tumblr.com/avidcollectorofdust/776146560975339520

    “Humans are inherently selfish–" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn’t sound very “inherently selfish” to me.

    “humans are the plague”

    No. Humans are animals as much as the fish and the bear. We are pack animals who have survived by strong bonds and community.

    Do not buy the lie that humans are inherently evil. Societies can trick you into believing this, but it’s not the truth of humanity.

    Humans crave being together, sharing together, and thriving together.

    Capitalism just wants you to believe we’re destined for selfishness.
