I talk often here
on client k
about how most people are
lazy and selfish.
Some people push back
on this,
telling me
people are better than that.
I’m not better than that.
I’m lazy and selfish.
Wishing I was otherwise
doesn’t make it true.
This week, the CDC in the US
said fully vaccinated people
no longer had to wear masks.
When asked how anyone would know
a person was fully vaccinated,
Dr. Fauci
said
“You’re gonna be
depending on people
being honest enough
to say
whether they are vaccinated
or not.”
There are quite a few people,
some might say
the majority of people,
who aren’t ‘honest enough.’
Wishing they were otherwise
doesn’t make it true.
Viewing the average person
as someone other than who they truly are
can lead to failure
and possibly death.
Before rolling out new policies
or planning anything,
ensure you have a realistic view
of the people involved.
If your view
contains no faults,
it isn’t realistic.
We’re human.
We all have faults.
