It’s All about Principles
Despite the immense variety of human beings and their personality traits, I can figure out a classification system that groups us all in three main categories: the (predominantly) good, the (predominantly) bad, and the fickle people who, like weather vanes, change their minds and actions according to contingent forces.
The good and the bad, predictable as they are, make it easy for us to navigate the world around us, but they are in the minority. The group in the middle, those marked by lack of loyalty or stability, those marked by irrational erratic opinions and feelings, those are the ones that make the world such a indigestible place.
Virtuous people will always do the right thing, even if that means losing, hurting others, or even themselves. Good, honest, generous, kind, well-intended people, people raised in homes where speaking the truth, being reliable, and fulfilling the Golden Rule was more important than gold itself, will always find a way to persevere against adversity, corruption, and the pressure of the majority.
Evil people, will always act in their own benefit, especially if that means hurting others. Even when no much is at stake, even in times of peace and prosperity, bad people will be plotting ways to satisfy their sick ego and break the harmony of their groups or communities. Even though they are easy to spot, they somehow manage to rule, intimidate, and amass power.
Whether we are talking about the rude abusive guy on the corner, the gossiping lady in your street, the gangster who terrorizes a whole city, or the men and women is expensive suits and dresses who grow rich and powerful at the expense of millions whose lives are treated as simple collateral damage, the solution is always at hand. Sometimes, it depends on a massive revolt of those affected by the bad individual. Others times, it just depends on the right decision of a fickle person whose unstable values take them to serve the wrong causes and whose proximity to the bad person makes it the perfect game changer, if only he or she had the courage and the vision to do the right thing at the right moment.
