My idea -- though it isn't originally mine (self indulgent emoji) is that people have some capabilities to make our lives and those around us's lives better. It requires in my assessment a very humbling evaluation of the world and there it is also where God's help acts as an optical device.

Mercy is a part of what I see around me. Of course it is influenced by how many people in these circles I know, but I have seen people whose lives have radically changed for the better.
