As people, I believe that there is
an inner compass that guides us from right and wrong. People who are bad, people who do bad things,
become lazy, or greedy, or something (see 7 deadly sins). But the true self leads us to the
understanding that everyone is good when you get to the bottom layers of who we
are.
Some people will tell you the
opposite, that people are inherently evil, and the majority of people believe
that we are neither good nor bad (besides the number of people who don’t think
too much about it). The only way that I
can rap my brain around any of this is to know that people are good.
You can talk the bank robber out of
doing what he’s doing. You can convince
your boss that he can change, that he can be the good guy and not the corporate
shill. I don’t want to be a leader that
leads because of the temptation of money, or power; I want to be able to talk
to the goodness inside of a person (does this goodness have a name, how ‘bout
Willie).
