This is true:

The human heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. The sheer level of depravity in each of us would shock whoever had a full glimpse of it. No one is righteous, no not one.

This is also true:

We should reject cynicism and resist always assuming the worst intentions in other people. Give others the benefit of the doubt until you have good reason to do otherwise. Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't treat others too flippantly.

It is hard to hold these two sides of reality in tandem but wisdom and healthy relationships require it.
