We often think people behave badly because they’re simply bad.             But in truth: The bully? He’s longing to be seen for his strength , not feared for it. The lazy one? She may be tired of trying — because no one saw her efforts before. The critic? He’s scared his voice doesn’t matter, so he makes it louder.
