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."
