Never attribute to malice what you attribute to incompetence....
It also feels very relevant to current events.
What events are you referring to? Having a heart-to-heart honest communication isn't going to solve shit if the parties are greedy as fuck, or out-and-out Nazis.
A lot of events, all over, but mostly politically and with offenders on both sides. Neither is interested in even trying to understand the underlying emotions and reasons for the actions of the other. They're both so bad at understanding each other that at this point all they see is malice.
> the parties are greedy as fuck, or out-and-out Nazis.
Case in point.
