On Human Reliability and unreliability

Why are some people worthy of trust while others are not? When an ordinary person encounters an emergency or crisis and needs to entrust important things, he will filter out the unreliable people one by one and choose people who are worthy of entrusting. He doesn't think like this in his daily life, but he can choose carefully when faced with important things. Why do people have such a judgment?

Everyone is an open book, some easy to understand, some difficult to understand, but it takes a certain amount of time, after many times of cooperation, we can get enough information to know a person. Therefore, people who are connected by all kinds of things have a cognitive scale of others.

What does unreliable character mainly refer to? Greed and selfishness must be the most important one. Selfish people lack a map of personal and social relationships in their world perception, so they always put self-needs first. Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the quiet daily life is not very prominent, but people can still understand their selfishness through small things; in more important moments, they are more likely to hurt others and break their promises.

Lack of honesty also belongs to the unreliable character, this is a kind of people who are good at lies. Starting from their narrow self, the purpose of fabricating lies is nothing more than for personal gain. In fact, they are still selfish, dare to fabricate the work of others as their own achievements, dare to cover up the ugly side and only take the other side of flattery and beautification, it is more difficult to recognize their own shortcomings. We expect human nature to renew itself, but most of the time human nature is stubborn and difficult to change.

Vanity is also an unreliable character. This kind of people love to pursue things that are grand, gorgeous and of no practical value. It is not that they are unwilling to pursue value, but that vanity blinds their eyes, and they are satisfied only by false prosperity. Such people waste unnecessary energy on meaningless things in their lives, and they are very likely to damage public affairs. In fact, their hearts or deep or shallow hidden emptiness, inferiority complex side, a healthy soul will not be immersed in illusion can not extricate themselves.

……

Whether it is selfishness, lying, or vanity, they are all closer to evil. When the behavior of these people crosses a certain boundary, they create evil behavior and do harm to others. Therefore, they are unreliable and cannot be entrusted with important matters. The imperfection of character makes them unable to bear a promise or entrustment that can not be harvested, let alone be ordered in the face of danger.

On the contrary, reliable character must be honest, practical and public spirit. Such people are honest with themselves, know that human nature has good and evil ideas, know that they can be more honest with others and other things, honesty is also practical and realistic, not hypocritical. They also pursue meaningful and valuable things and are willing to do practical things, even in a retreat environment. They better understand that only when there is public stability, there is personal soundness, and the future of the public is also the future of future generations. Therefore, they have a reliable character, that is, reliable people who will at least not distort, spread rumors or abandon their promises in the face of entrustment from others.

Each of us basically has a consensus on these reliable and unreliable qualities, and even if many of us cannot express them clearly, they have long been stored in our hearts through our daily life. Everyone who knows will be put on such a table to sort the advantages and disadvantages. When something important happens, the judgment of people comes out quickly.

Such people are honest with themselves, know that human nature has good and evil ideas, know that they can be more honest with others and other things, honesty is also practical and realistic, not hypocritical.
