Motivation for Change Not Equally Distributed
I think it's actually not true that celebrities and the powerful are somehow always changing for the better but the average person who I have a grudge against is forever tainted and evil. Even if I'm not willing to forgive someone for what they've done to me, I acknowledge their capacity to change for the better, and I hope they will so they won't hurt other people like they did me. And I think ordinary people are actually more likely to improve themselves than people who expect to have a massive following of adoring fans/syncophants regardless of what they say or do. Somehow I just think that enormous amounts of unconditional adoration just tends to make people worse, actually.
