Regardless of the Facts I Believe What I Want To

I have no empirical data upon which to base this observation, but I think that generally, humans tend to believe the best about people they want to believe in and believe the worst about people about whom they want to think the worst.

Our predisposed notions about people tend to become more entrenched with the passage of time, not less.

Maybe I need to just say for myself, "Lord, save me from myself and my own selfish intent. Help me believe, as you do, that no one is beyond redemption."
