I often find myself reflecting on why people do bad things or exhibit negative behaviours towards others. From where I sit, there is no situation in the world that cannot be dealt with effectively and productively, if people would choose to behave in a positive manner. Being polite is no more time consuming than being purposefully rude. I see that with people who behave negatively, it seems that they dont just choose the "easiest" option. Rather, it seems cerebral; they seem compelled on reflection to behave that way. An extreme example is Hitler. A non-extreme example is an inconsiderate member of the community.
So, I have surmised that the trait all negative behaviour in the world can be reduced to is selfishness. People who behave negatively towards others are fundamentally selfish people. Or, on a smaller scale, at the root of negativity of any sort in human behaviour is selfishness. Is there anybody who disagrees with me?
