I don't think it sounds bold or empowering. I think it describes reality accurately, without bullshit. I wish someone had explained it to me as a young man. In my father's home, any rule was absolute law, and the consequence was always outsized.
The real world isn't like that.
- neilv 2y agoI'm reminded of some popular news reporting of a psychological study (who knows whether it's reproducible), something like... People who behaved in some specific dishonest way also thought other people tended to have a similar level of honesty to themselves. Compared to people who didn't behave in that dishonest way, and who thought others tended to have a similar level of honesty to themselves. How the causality works there, I don't have good guesses. But the supposed phenomenon could reduce to simply differing conceptions of what the real world is.
