Random Hippie Thought of the Day

We have a choice. We can choose to assume the worst in people, or we can choose to assume the best in people.


If we assume the worst in people, maybe we’ll be right most of the time. But when we’re wrong, we’ll devastate someone.


If we assume the best in people, maybe we’ll be right some of the time. And when we’re wrong, the worst outcome is that we’ll be naive.


Assuming the worst in people is a lot like capital punishment. It’s the belief that the damage caused by a few mistakes is worth the calculated good of hammering the rest.

Stephanie Leroux I've always subscribed to that idea and the nice thing is that sometimes when you assume the best, people try harder to live up to that.
