    If you look hard enough at the hero’s of history, you are likely to find some unpleasant things. Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Winston Churchill. I could go on.

    Don’t be delulu about human nature. There’s good and bad in everyone, it’s just a matter of degree and hopefully most of the time there’s more good than bad.

      I love the Dollop podcast - there’s like over 500 episodes now so some are ordinary but it’s amazing to hear the backstory of people. Often those that are held up as heroes are not but there are amazing stories of lesser known people who fought the good fight their whole life. You can’t trust the judgement of history but that doesn’t mean there’s not goodness.
