To be fair, it must be hard to go through life taking everything so personally, having such an intense need for the world to be perfect, always so conscious of how bad other people are.

And how often is it that they have a convenient blind spot to their own sins? Sometimes I believe that God purposefully puts thorns in our side (as Paul put it) to make sure that we don't get to the point that we think the world is much more evil than we are.

Excellent point. That reminds me of G.K. Chesterton's response to the question, "What's wrong with the world?" He said, "I am."
