 some lessons can only be learned from the past. In a decent person, a mistake
 would not persist beyond their chance to remedy it.

 @user-135 if you're cringing at past behavior, then you've learned and grown
 enough to see the mistakes of the past in sharp contrast to your temperament
 in the present.

 You cannot debase me, well, you can try. But for each of my past mistakes I've
 learned from, and I can explain in detail how, when, and why.
 
 To err is to be human, and some errors are more painful than others. Believe
 me, I know.
 
 I am only as good as my lessons, the things that I've learned on the road.
 
 And I never stop learning.

 I like that article. I definitely fail to follow some of those principles at
 times, though never all of them at once. I can be better, as all people can.

 mistakes can be illustrative and with new perspectives, perhaps we may move
 forward into the future, bearing all the mistakes of our selves and our
 ancestors upon our backs.
 
 After all, beauty is not found in the presence of absolute perfection, but
 rather in the marred surface of the moon.

 all that is sufficient to be a good person is to choose the best option
 whenever you can.
 
 that's it
 
 we act with the decisions we are given. Hence why it's important to be as you
 believe.

 I'm just a person
there are two types of fascist  those who care for human life and have made the cruel cold calculus and decided that fascism is their route to power. They may have many motivations for why they want to seek power, but in the end it doesn't matter because they must have it.  the other kind does not care for human life. It holds no value or meaning to them. They are the textbook definition of a psychopath. Incapable of empathy because they *do not possess the required structures in their brain*. They are fundamentally broken, a fragment of our human race. Like a sliver in a growing fruit, they are consumed by us. Then, when eaten, a jagged reminder of our history as participants in the race of life. Survival of the fittest created some mighty fit survivors.  they need psychiatric care, not unchecked power.  and yet, as a segment of the population they prosper - for reasons that are beyond this document. As they prosper, they harm others and take that which is most precious to us - those who are happy. They pick one to act as a trojan horse (usually the content beneficiaries of times of plenty) and they corrupt them. Slowly they poison their minds, making them easier and easier to control. So, why not listen to the wise? Hear what they have seen with their own eyes? and so you have to ask - who is wise? Who has been taken in by their disguise? Fuck nazis. Fuck them for what they did to the jews. They can never be forgiven. Fuck them for what they did to the world. They are damned. I get that their brains are broken, but we should not have to suffer them again.  "ohhh it's a part of the human condition, it's not their faullllltttttt" fuck fuck yeah it is. We've given them every opportunity to turn back. Their shit stops here.

 If you burden others with proving your truth, then you could be right a
 thousand times in a row, but make two mistakes and they'll never trust you
 again.

 the best way, I find, to be deserving of trust is to do the best that you can,
 and be honest when you cannot do more.
