    The truth is at the moment we do not have any faith in the fellow man.

    We use the fellow man as much as it is possible for our own gain.

    Today we start to think about faith in humanity and fellow man, because we slowly realize we are in such a global, interdependent network with everybody else, that we are literally chained to each other without any hope of escaping.

    Thus more and more people realize, that the only way out of the presently deepening global crisis is some kind of cooperation, some form of unity, which obviously has to be built of a level of faith, trust in between us.

    This is what we have to find.

    What do you mean? What does having faith in humanity mean to you?

    Why use the word faith? Do you think humanity is a belief or a religion? Why not be realistic about humanity and reality it has its pluses and minuses? That requires being realistic instead of having faith. Very different.

    Here are a few.

    Historically illiteracy rates are at an all time low.

    Historically famine rates are at an all time low.

    Historically plague rates are at an all time low.

    Historically technological advancement, education, and basic standards of living are at an all time high.

    A human being has been to the surface of the moon.

    Human beings have sent a probe to monitor the surface of mars.

    Our own globe is has basically been conquered by humanity.

    Being human pretty much kick azz.

    By being an integral part of it. The only ones who lose faith in humanity, actually, are losing faith in themselves to be able to make a worthwhile contribution. We are all our fellow man. It's not separate from us. We are either a part of humanity...or not. It can't be 'us' and 'them' IMHO.

    The only thing we can be certain of is our own intention or behaviour and that takes a commitment to oneself. I can't give you 2-3 reasons - too jaded.

    Seek and ye shall find.
