What this episode covers
With the amount of turmoil and conflict in the world, it may seem naive to talk about people's basic goodness, but I am using the term in a very specific way. There is a universal and fundamental desire to be happy, to wish oneself well, to be at peace, to feel safe. It is in our pursuit of that underlying desire where problems can arise. How we go about trying to resolve that desire may be functional. Or often not. When we encounter dysfunctional behavior, it is important to remember that we all have this desire to be happy in common."
