In fact, it's what the whole ballgame is about, being not so terrific... and accepting it.

They're all decent people who treat other human beings with respect, even people that don't deserve it, which is the big demarcation point, I think, in human behavior-- if you treat people with respect who don't deserve it.  It's a mark of high civilization.  Because you never know who's only temporarily deserving of bad behavior.  So you try to treat everybody with a morality that makes you a good person, not whether or not they deserve to be treated well.  And I feel really much more comfortable with those people.
