This is true.

That's also how I think about myself. It's not a complete answer. It just sometimes puts into perspective why I (and you, and everyone) might deserve to stick around even if we've made some mistakes. Might even deserve to be happy with ourselves. Somehow I want that to be true and I think it probably is true. It's better than thinking of yourself as an overgrown tapeworm.

Yeah, I'd rather be a pet hamster than a tapeworm. ;)
