A funny little thing about humans

Human beings are funny creatures. Not funny ha-ha, but funny peculiar.

Human behavior has astounded us for centuries despite our many attempts to study it. We still don’t understand why people behave the way they do.

Like most people, I’ve always been fascinated by human behavior. Not only do I notice how I behave in various situations, but also how other people behave.

Recently, I noticed one funny little thing that’s common to pretty much every person.

When others pay the price for what you do, you do too much of it. When others gain from what you do, you do too little of it.

I find that funny. Do you?
