I love mankind; it's people I can't stand.

Summary

This quote humorously points out the paradoxical relationship between an individual's affection for humanity as a whole and their frustration with individual people. It highlights the discord between the idealized concept of mankind and the often flawed and sometimes irritating actions and behaviors of individuals. It suggests that while there may be a fondness for the collective human species and all its potential, dealing with the quirks and idiosyncrasies of individuals can be challenging and lead to feelings of exasperation.
