"I have a confession, I am a bad person. I've done worse things to people for my own satisfaction than I'm sure you can begin to fathom. I've taken advantage of desperate people for my own personal gain. And I've humiliated people, without the slightest hint of remorse. I've taken shattered lives and ruined them ever worse than they were. I have been a bad person, and I'm not even the worse person you'll ever meet. There are many others who have done worse to others than I have. In the real world, people do bad things to each other. We deceive ourselves and think that we rise above it all, but we really don't. Our human urge is to take advantage, to be in control, and to gain at other people's expense. There is not one human soul who has no done this. And yes, I repent my sins, and wait for my karma or judgement. But I know in my heart, even through my exploitation of the desperate, I felt like a good person. My actions just was never aligned with my view of myself. It is interesting, but self-deceit is strong within us all."
In that one profound paragraph, Brandon, for me personally, you have already "redeemed" yourself - I'm not going to say anything more.
