Most people (including myself) are cowardly and selfish. If we have the opportunity to avoid responsibilities, especially if no one is watching or if we can “get away with it” … chances are most people would. I’m not saying that all people are selfish … if they are being watched or there are witnesses, many people (I believe the majority) would do the right thing and take responsibility.

Which is why we need a world with checks and balances … we constantly need to watch one another and set to systems where everyone is literally on a stage of sorts. Especially when it comes to politicians and government … if we leave people to do things in the dark without anyone knowing, chances are very high that they will do terrible things.
