Why do you think this dualism should exist?
There are certain qualities we admire and think make a good person.
There are other qualities that we detest and think make a bad person.
Should we really deem someone worse simply for the fact that he/she previously held admirable qualities? Shouldn't we just judge him based on the negative qualities, in of themselves?
- neuro_imager 9y agoThe quote "judge talent at its best and character at its worst" seams appropriate here.
- watwut 9y agoInfluencing people is not "admirable quality" on itself. It is positive if you do it for good and horrible if you do it for bad. It amplifies your impact. These qualities don't make you good person automaticaly, they oftentimes make you an asshole. Plus environment where everyone wants to he sen as leader tend to be disfunctional.
