People are angrier when they are called out for the things they’ve done wrong and denied, than for the things they’ve done wrong and admitted.
People will risk everything to protect a lie, even when they know the worst adversary to have is the truth.
People will ask more questions when the answers do not fit into the familiar or the expected. The questions are not so much in search for understanding but in search of inconsistencies that can make them hold on to the familiar (a bias).
People will ask for advice on decisions they are making, to check your alignment, not to enrich the decision making process.
People will compromise character to hear today, what will be common knowledge tomorrow and worthless information a day after.
People will actively seek out information that raises anxiety and unsettle present peace. Breaking news media understands this and profits from it.
People find it more difficult to leave abusive relationships than respectful relationships. They tarry hoping to change the circumstance or find meaning for the madness. The longer they stay, the tighter the noose.
People will go into a debate with the default setting that they are right, but judge the other person for coming with their own default setting of being right.
People will not take their own advice and will continually look for cheat codes to improve their odds, in spite of the fact that every day ends with an evening.
People are just people. Bear with them. They are here only for a while – passing by or passing away.
