Life Lived in Invective Views of Hatred for a World That Did Not Conform to Self-imposed Expectations

Might there be the suggestion that the late Mr.HItchens was not alone in his acerbic persoanl style of projecting his own world-view of just about everything that did not conform to his preferred designs of existence; and he was not shy letting everyone know it. That there were/are people that assented to similar versions of his peculiar observations of life lived in another view is legion; thus he was not alone, just severely self-isolated for the observations that were intended to irritate for his own self-satisfaction that his dissatisfaction would be keenly felt by those of whom he took to task.
One wonders: for those who are his survivors in legacy of his acerbic viewpoints; would life have been different if he learned to love mankind in spite of its travesties and shared a more optomistic view of humanity instead of focusing on those travesties?
