I think that the worst thing is realizing that mankind - that - that human beings can be so horrible to other human beings.

It seems entirely possible to me that horrible things can be going on without us becoming horrible people.

Horrible things happen all our lives; we all experience loss and death and trauma. Usually, most people, I think, we just get on with it. We don't have a whole soliloquy in the middle of something.

In every circumstance, all my life, my mind shows me the possible bad outcome: someone walks down steps, and before I can do anything to head the image off, I see a fall, a catastrophe.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

A lot of life is about trying to turn bad experiences into something good. Usually if you work at it, you can figure out a way to do it. Even our worst misfortunes are gifts.

Sometimes we do things that are really awful.

I've done some pretty bad things in my life.

Everybody had something horrible happen to them at one time or another in their life.

As we look around, it's very clear that in this world people do outrageous things to one another all of the time. It's not that these qualities or actions make us bad people, but they bring tremendous suffering if we don't know how to work with them.
