"pieces of s..t"

you got that right
however, consider that most humans are equivalent pieces of s..t
full of greed, hatred, thoughtlessness, inconsideration, envy, the list goes on.
from my experience, most humans are nice on the surface, but go a bit deeper and there is something like 95% poop, individually and collectively.
of the remaining 5% of humans, only something like 0.001% (as opposed to 1%) have a serious handle on their s..t and have good success in removing it for the benefit of themselves and others (the all)

the humans that you mention are not the exception, but, rather, the rule.

was listening to some wishbone ash the other day
and heard the words:
and the biggest lie,
is the one you tell yourself

for most of us there is conspiracies everywhere that we need to address - inside and outside.
if we continue to ignore them with heart and mind then we will remain subject to them.

the cultivation of unprejudiced kindness is often seriously underrated

watched sesame st yesterday and there was a bit about friends.
some kid made friends with a wooden desk, at first this may seem ridiculous or unhealthy, but upon reflection, a balanced cultivation of respect and kindness toward all things can have a profound effect upon 'one's' psyche and mental wellbeing in all environments.
