Two for me:

  1. The moment you feel tipsy it’s time to ease down. You have a stomach full of booze that’s going to make you more drunk even if you stop immediately.

  2. If you think people are good, you’re probably right and if you think people are bad, you’re probably right.

People are good IMO.

    I prefer Bonhoeffer’s take: we should judge people less by what they have or do and more by what they are made to suffer.

      If by that you mean “how they do when they suffer”, making it as little of a problem to anyone else whilst also trying to stay hopeful and clear-headed enough to figure ways out of it/cope with it if it’s unavoidable, then I guess I agree with Bonhoeffer? 👍

        More like Jesus became a big problem for people with power and was made to suffer for it. Bonhoeffer was not saying that we should conceal our suffering in a way that it isn’t a problem for others. This was is in a larger essay about how people cope with Nazism at the time, very clear-headed but was calling out those who did little because they didn’t want to suffer and how we judged harshly those who lost everything.
