Mankind is divisible into two great classes: hosts and guests.

Mankind is divisible into two great classes: hosts and guest

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals can be categorized into two main groups based on their roles in social interactions: hosts and guests. Hosts are people who welcome others into their spaces or lives and take responsibility for their comfort and experience. Guests, on the other hand, are individuals who are invited or welcomed by hosts into their spaces or events. This division recognizes the inherent dynamics of social relationships, where some people assume the role of hosts, managing the environment, while others take on the role of guests, enjoying the hospitality and offerings provided by hosts.
