I think - there's always going to be a percentage of people who maybe aren't as good as others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The truth is many of us have been socialized to think that if we are not the very best, if we are not at the top 1 percent of whatever it is we do, then we are not good enough. To reinforce this already pervasive mental model, society has established a competitive hierarchy for just about everything.
I think there is something to be said for not coddling people and not accepting good as good enough.
On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.
I am a person who believes in the good of people and who may have had things influence them to a certain degree, but deep down I think most people are good and would like to be good.
There ought to be so many who are excellent, there are so few.
I believe that people are fundamentally are decent. And, yes, you will have people that sometimes will misbehave.
I'm a good person, I hope. But I'm never as good as I want to be, never as nice as I want to be, never as generous as I want to be.
No matter how much good you do, there will always be a few per cent of people who don't support you.
Cynics will say there are no good people out there. And if you read the papers and watch TV news you could be convinced of that. But there are good people.
No person is ever good for much, that hasn't been swept off their feet by enthusiasm between ages twenty and thirty.
