    Who lived and thought can't help but have contempt for people hidden deeply in their souls.

    Something like that.

    That phrase actually means that humanity is not so innocent and pure and everyone who experienced life learns the hard way that people are not so good

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    iCake я знаю все слова и еще не могу понять значение.
    The problem I think is that I don't understand the role of "тот" in this sentence and also because my dictionary says: презирать = despise (= underestimates).

    I've just written what it means, haven't I?

    As for the word тот, it's just a determiner there, in other words it's a demonstrative pronoun.

    despise doesn't mean to underestimate, so doesn't the Russian word презирать.

    презирать (despise) - to have strong hatred to someone or something or to dislike something very much
