Known remains of Homo sapiens date back approximately 300,000 years. During our time on Earth, we have evolved an innate ability to do remarkable things. And I’m not just talking about taming fire or walking on the Moon. As the subreddit r/HumansAreMetal shows, our species demonstrates its physical and mental capabilities every day. From archaeologists to flight attendants and railway dispatchers, continue scrolling to meet the people who prove that everybody can be a hero in their own unique way.

Willem Arondéus Was A Homosexual Dutch Artist Who Bombed The Amsterdam Public Records Office In Ww2 To Hinder The Nazi Effort To Identify Dutch Jews

He was caught and sentenced to death, his last words were “let it be known that homosexuals are not cowards”

ProperlyEnhanced Report

r/HumansAreMetal has 1.5 million members, and it's easy to understand why.

When we hear about bad things happening, especially when many lose their lives at the hands of a few, we need to remind ourselves that people can be good.

"We all have an innate capacity for goodness—and this is the hope for the human race as well as the hope for each individual person in the journey of life," clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst Jennifer Kunst, Ph.D., writes.

"Side by side with our destructive capacity is our constructive capacity—our capacity to do good and to be good, our impulses to love, to care, to help, to heal."

According to Kunst, the way to make the most of your life is to harness this orientation toward goodness so that it has more and more influence over your personality.

"In the context of psychotherapy, we might even say that it is the aim of the psychoanalysis to strengthen each patient's good, constructive capacities so that they can be used productively to manage the destructive elements."

However, Kunst believes that at the same time, it is essential to acknowledge and own the destructive capacities because "it is only when there is a bridge between love and hate that humility, authentic guilt, and forgiveness can make way for healing and restoration."

Despite the turmoil around us, 83 percent of the respondents think that people are fundamentally good.

Baby boomers are the most likely to hold this belief (91 percent) compared to Generation X (84 percent), Millennials (81 percent) and Generation Z (75 percent).

This might tie to life experience, which can reassure you that people can unify and overcome.

Of those surveyed, 80 percent feel that people have a responsibility to help others with time and effort, while 72 believe that people should help financially.

Interestingly, staying optimistic about others isn't just wishful thinking; it might actually pay off. Those who held this belief were not only more likely to have a more satisfying life (84 vs. 70 percent) but also make about $5,000 more annually.

There might be moments when you feel like are the worst beings in the universe. But we can reach common ground, we want to help each other, and something tells me we're going to be ok.
