My manta is almost the opposite. Every morning I write and and say to myself, "Love others. Be kind. Imagine people complexly."
My default is to assume everyone else is a dumbass with bad intentions. The vast vast majority of the time they are not. They either live a life that led them to believe some ideas contrary to my own and/or are trying to get some goal of their own finished and I am just a background character in their story.
I don't know if I would say most people are good people but most people are not actively trying to be bad people.
- Apocryphon 5y agoI don’t think the article suggests the need to assume malevolence. One can assume everyone including oneself of being mentally flawed without being morally flawed.
