It is sad. I make it a daily practice to try and look at the good part that people have. Not all are beasts, savages, cruel and mean. Not every human will abuse you. But dealing with such people can help you grow immensely because a part of you , whether you admit it or not, attracted them. For me it was like a mirror in which I could see my own wounds. Somehow, my biggest tormentors were my greatest teachers and I thank all of them. That does not mean that I excuse their actions or that I want to deal with them. No. I took the lesson and moved on. No more lingering. I think this is a big step toward emotional maturity. To blame no one and choose to respectfully move on from any abuser. God will do what is right.
I am still working on healing and not taking the trauma and extending my beliefs on the entire human specie. But sometimes yes I am more afraid of humans and I avoid them. Sometimes I meet people who restore my faith in humanity. There is a seed of good in every human, it is up to them to discover it and choose to nurture that instead of their dark side. We can't change wild beasts into humans or to make humans out of a beast.
Being alone in nature is super healing. At least for me. Yes, it gives me more clarity and a sense of peace. It is like the best medicine I could ever have. I highly recommend a big dose of nature to everybody.
