Choose your side.
from Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
How to Apply This
-
Choose your side.
You can believe that people are, deep down, bad, or good. You can choose Hobbes’ view or Rousseau’s. It is entirely up to you. -
Remember that people behave in a way you treat them.
If you think people are bad, you will interpret their moves as evil; hence you will treat them like they’re vicious. Ultimately, this will result in people being this way to you. But if you treat them like friends and with honesty, so they will be.
