"It seems natural for people to blame their own misfortunes on the environment. It seems equally natural to blame other peoples misfortunes on their personalities."(40)
I found this passage to be very interesting because it provides a different view or way of thinking on how humans react in different situations. I thought that it was somewhat general but that the first statement is mostly accurate whereas the second statement is only true in a minor part of the human population. I thought that it was a very controversial statement and that maybe discussion would lead to some different thoughts on his generalization.
