    In my really ignorant opinion, there’s something morbid about an excessive&sad humility that would give up on oneself and the world, thinking that there is nothing to lose//gain(, i personally don’t regret to have chosen a ~decade ago that humility/gratitude can walk with courage/ambition), not that i can remember ever encountering such excess of humility in the real world, so i may be wasting lines by writing about a.n (mostly )inexistant problem.
    People are very nice, really, in that sense we’re trying, but we’ll still don’t think twice about killing an insect, to give an example.

    Don’t mind the images, from here, but the subtitles felt worth a read :

    Or better yet, read some excerpts from here(, longer compilations are available elsewhere), just give it a try : https://traditionalhikma.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Collection_of_Poems_A_-_Yusus_Emre.pdf

    I’m so very glad that the evilness of humanity is responsible for most of our complaints, we get the pitiful world that we rightfully deserve, what a relief. We could have taken very good care of the different plants and trees and eat their fruits in exchange, in order to live without ever killing, i’m so glad that God gave us a way out of the rule “eating=killing”.

    I don’t know how to say that God is Great.

    I’m sorry, i just don’t believe that evil people will create a good future, they’ll suffer just as we’re currently not understanding why we’re rightfully unsatisfied with the present.
    That everyone has for goal to be happy instead of being/doing good will come with the consequences of a society made of selfish individuals(, the “human nature” assumed by our modern models). I’ll still say that we’re not really trying, the proof is in our (lack of )discussion, we do not even bother to paint a destination, our goal isn’t to serve God and H…er.is creatures, but our own selves/group(, sometimes restricted to our own family, other times more//less), with the awaited consequences if we’re on the receiving end of the ugly world we’ve created, the oppressor will have to bear watching this creation.
    And i stand here glad that each action will come with its consequences(, while sorry that my inaction also lead to consequences, i’m no exception : inactions often have greater consequences than actions).

    Give it a try, and if you don’t like it then you can go back to what you were doing, everything is vain anyway according to the Ecclesiastes : https://traditionalhikma.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Collection_of_Poems_A_-_Yusus_Emre.pdf
