Terry had tremendous insight into human nature generally, but he was particularly good at pointing out all of the little, shitty parts of ourselves that we're ashamed of he loved people, but he knew how we could be
He had other series of books, but none quite captured what Discworld did.
I always felt his frustration with people got more and more obvious in his later books. Or maybe I just got older and understood more 😅
Just got to book 4 of Tiffany Aching with my kids and boy, is that on display.
That love is the difference between "We could be better" and "You should be better," and it's everything.
People who have a clear, realistic understanding of humans, and love them earnestly anyways, give me hope.
