S, I know it took real courage to write your post. Seeking faith in humanity can only be accomplished by interacting with people. I have also been discriminated against and have felt deep sadness and anger before, yet as I grow and become more aware of the good that surrounds us, I find that we are interconnected more than I ever thought possible. Sometimes I meditate on compassion because it helps me to see something more in others. I also only participate in reading, speaking and interacting with positive, healthy people. I have learned how to spot red flags and therefore release toxic people. Most of us are just like you, wanting to be treated with kindness and wanting a calm and peaceful life.
