What Schulz is saying here is that individual people fall
short of their potential as people. Schulz is saying that he loves the idea of mankind,
which is the idea that people have a great deal of potential. But the problem is that
individual people have all these flaws that make them fall short of what people can
be.
We all love humankind. Humans are capable of wonderful
things. However, each person as an individual has multiple flaws. Each of us does
things that are so much less than what we could be. We ignore our consciences and
commit acts that are sinful or wrong. By doing so, we fall short of what we are
supposed to be.
So Schulz is saying that humankind as a
whole has all this potential and he loves that. But individual people fall short of
this ideal and he can't stand seeing that happen.
