Because you stopped judging them and started to accept them for what they are. Gosh

Well it seems like you’re judging me right now, friend

Notice you just made a distinction between people...and you. Is not that human body....a person which is an individual among people? This means...you by default are also a survival machine.

They are not. They are capable of unconditional love, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness etc. It's just that these characters got buried deep within because of the environment and the survival characters are reigning now. You can recognise that these survival traits won't serve the purpose of finding them true happiness,peace and bliss, and be compassionate towards them for not being able to recognise it. Compassion is one extension of love. The main purpose of Spirituality is to awaken such people, from their deep programming due to survival needs.

By understanding what a survival machine is. The ingenuity of it's design. The intelligence behind its programming.

I can fix it. Look. 

"what I really meant is that I was aware that the words were coming from a place of judgement but the comment sounded funny in my head so I allowed it to be expressed anyways"

Without those survival traits, you wouldn't be having a body right now that can live for around 70 years, wouldn't have different senses to take in the relative beauty of the world,wouldn't be able to experience almost infinite variety of things and store it in your memory all these years, and wouldn't forget everything and immerse yourself in this specific variety of life and the list goes on. Being grateful for all of these things will make your life better.

I think It's about accepting that we are in dark ages still

Feels quite contrary because we are constantly get fed the message that "we live in the future"

I was trying to laugh but I chocked instead. Never mind these silly innuendos, or we will get flagged for veering off topic for too long. I understand what you meant. No need to discuss it further.

You are saying we are in the dark ages still, but compared to what? Imagined alien technological advancements?

What i'm saying is, we are only wherever we are at. How can there be a real comparison when there's only: "where were at"

@PurpleTree Love yourself more and your reality and you’ll automatically love others more because you’re content in life. 
 

This is why sometimes you gotta look after yourself so you can be a strong position to love others and give back.

Aside from that deeply connecting with the pain of others

everything you see right now through your eyes is god

which if you notice includes yourself

if you really know this, this is knowledge

were you to actually live this, that is love

so how to love right now?

treat whoever's in front of you real good

here's a nice pointer and a cool song to boot:

if you can't love the one you love, love the one you're with 🎵
