But humans are different.
They are greedy and lustful, arrogant and jealous, but at the same time, they are generous and kind, humble yet forthright.
These qualities and personalities do not appear singularly in someone.
They often converge in one person.
The hooligan who often collects protection fees in the alley might also stand up for small vendors chased by city enforcers.
The social media influencer who often flaunts wealth online might also secretly donate anonymously to the poor people on remote planets.
The normally cowardly, greedy, and selfish man might also step forward with courage when his wife is kidnapped, willing to trade his life for hers.
