What makes you lose faith in humanity?

1 Answer

Answer :

An action that an individual decided to take to harm me when I was a child set me on the path of losing my faith and hope in humanity. However, it was ultimately my own actions from there on out that led me to lose complete faith in humanity (and God on the side). As for restoring that faith in humanity as a whole, I prefer that it is not restored. I feel like my eyes were opened up a lot once I lost that faith.
