“if you walk out the house and one person is a jerk, then it’s probably that person. If you walk out of the house and everyone is a jerk, it’s probably you.”
I’m not sure the origin of this quote, but there is some truth there.
We make our own meaning of the word, we ascribe motives, intent and malice, much of the time without evidence, just our own stories.
The world is what we make of it. We can choose to make it “full or jerks,” or not.
