And how is the world that it could break us? The world is made of broken men. We are born broken, that is, with a propensity toward sin.

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
-- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
That's just far too simplistic. Child abuse, mental illness, PTSD from traumatic experiences, traumatic brain injury, can all lead to impulsive erratic behaviors. Sin is also vague, and biblical sin is often completely disconnected from the actual cause of why someone is making poor choices.
