Quote by Eric Hoffer
We are more prone to generalize the bad than the good. We assume that the bad is more potent and contagious.
Summary
This quote suggests that human beings have a tendency to focus more on negative experiences and traits than positive ones. We tend to generalize negative occurrences, perceiving them as more powerful and influential, while neglecting or underestimating the impact of positive experiences. This bias might result from our natural instinct to protect ourselves from potential threats and dangers. By recognizing this tendency, we can work towards promoting positivity and cultivating a more balanced perspective on the world around us.
