Relying on Human Goodness by Margaret J. Wheatley Comments (0)
We have a great need to rely on the fact of human goodness. Human goodness seems like an outrageous "fact." Everyday we are confronted with mounting evidence of the great harm we so easily do to one another. We are numbed by frequent genocide, ethnic hatred, and individual violence committed daily in the world. In self-protective groups, we terrorize each other with our hatred.

There is so much anger, distrust, greed, and pettiness that we are losing our capacity to work well together. Many of us are more withdrawn and distrustful than ever.
