People!

Have you noticed how, whenever you hear someone speaking about people in general, it is almost always in a negative sense?

For example someone might say, "people are so selfish!" or even "people are so stupid!", or such like.

Whenever I hear this, I have an urge to ask, "but aren't you a member of that general category called people?"

I suspect the answer might be, "yes, but I am not like them!" But if so, how come?

I wonder if it is not common for individuals to see in others, what they really see in themselves. I think in psychology it is called "projection".
