    it’s time to admit that deep down the human experience is being a giant piece of shit

    Well, I’m tempted to say “speak for yourself there, buddy”. I’d agree if you said that a lot of people are like that, but you seem to imply that goes for basically everyone?

        So the two options are being “without sin” and “being a giant piece of shit”? There is no in between?

          Varrying degrees of shittyness sure, but it is human to cause pain and suffering to those around you. Being aware of that is the first step to lessening it’s effect.

            Of course! Why, then, implying that I’m claiming to be “without sin” for saying I’m not “a giant piece of shit,” if there’s lots of degrees in between?

      If we make the mistake of thinking ourselves more pure, more righteous, or less vile than the other man, we run the risk of feeding our ego.

      We must all run with the knowledge that we as individuals are less important than a blade of grass.
