Anytime anybody is rude, it makes me double-check my own behavior to make sure I don't do that to other people.
The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.
If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior.
I guess I'm just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
That human behavior is more influenced by things outside of us than inside. The 'situation' is the external environment. The inner environment is genes, moral history, religious training.
Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.
If we each take responsibility in shifting our own behavior, we can trigger the type of change that is necessary to achieve sustainability for our race or this planet. We change our planet, our environment, our humanity every day, every year, every decade, and every millennia.
You stand with the least likely to succeed until success is succeeded by something more valuable: kinship. You stand with the belligerent, the surly and the badly behaved until bad behavior is recognized for the language it is: the vocabulary of the deeply wounded and of those whose burdens are more than they can bear.
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Inappropriate behavior makes me laugh.
