Sounds like we have a few Char Aznables (from CCA) here.
We make mistakes and we repeat them, both on a small scale and a massive scale. Not everyone learns from their mistakes, some people do, while others do not or are unable to.
Here is my personal experience that makes made me who I am. I lied to my parents quite a lot when I was in college. And repeated the same mistake (cutting classes) for almost 3 semesters. I was telling them I was going to classes everything was fine and even tried to doctor my end of semester grades to make it look like I did go to class and did not get grades that show I did not. After the first time, I said I would not do it again, but I did it again. After the second time I said I would not do it again but I did again. Then I was doing it for a third time, but this time I was stronger and able to turn it around and stop. For over a year I told my parents I was going to classes but I did not and I wasted a lot of their money. They gave me another chance each time and I turned it around.
This is why I believe in humanity and people. I was given so many chances. Some people might need more chances than I needed to turn something around. Not everyone will make the best choice or learn from their mistakes, but I am not one to judge them. I am just another human being with my own problems and they have their own problems as well. If someone needs help, I will help them as best as I can. I try hard not to judge people because there are people who gave me a bad first impression but turned out to be people I enjoy spending time with and talking.
Also, I will value a human life over an animal's because a human can do so much more. Yes, more bad too, but there is that possibility of doing more good. I like to believe in possibilities because of how humans have been able to overcome hard times. Look at all the technologies we have invented. Yes there are bad ones, but there are so many good ones.
Maybe I am naive and a fool, but that's how I feel. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
