We can embrace our own humanism, ignoring other formal religions that require a deity. We can question what some call spiritualism, those who seem mostly to need a belief, and call them at least a friend.
But unfortunately I can't stop questioning now what humanism really is. I struggle between wanting man to perpetuate the betterment of man, and the commands of misanthropy to have disdain for humans. Can I reconcile the two? Can I be a selective humanist? Or a selective misanthrope? Do I hate some while still relying on all? Doesn't humanism require a continuous, unbroken chain? Thus, if I hate one, only one, haven't I broken that chain?
Maybe it's not disdain, but mistrust. At this point, do I stay pure to humanism while taking solace in misanthropy? TO BE CONTINUED . . .
