The importance of everyday behavior
In times when things are working out well for you, just about any person can maintain a calm attitude and appear reasonable and polite.
Character truly emerges in situations when there is no reward for a good behavior and no real punishment for acting badly.
For that reason, ordinary, everyday situations say a lot more about people than grand gestures.
A person may donate a lot of money to a charity publicly, but in front of the very same audience they could treat a waiter horribly. They might share some very profound quotes on social media platforms while backstabbing their close acquaintances.
What is most important is not how the individual behaves when they know they are on display, but when nobody’s watching.
