Bad person Quote by Paul Bloom

“Being a good person likely is more related to distanced feelings of compassion and kindness, along with intelligence, self-control, and a sense of justice. Being a bad person has more to do with a lack of regard for others and an inability to control one’s appetites.” quote by Paul Bloom — Download Open image
