Until quite recently, I believed that all humans were some combination of good and bad. None of us are perfect … I sometimes have thoughts that I’m not proud of and in my 71 years on this earth, I’ve done things I now regret.

I have finally been convinced that some people are just evil beings. This realization is not a pleasant one, not one that encourages me to want to remain a part of the human species.
