If someone has a bad leg, we give them a shoulder to lean on. If they have an intellectual disability, we have sympathy and help them cope as best we can.
So why do we hate the shameless, the manipulative, the self-interested people of the world? Why aren’t the morally disabled worthy of our sympathy, since they don’t understand what is good, or how their actions harm themselves?
“When you run up against someone else’s shamelessness, ask yourself this: Is a world without shamelessness possible?” The Roman Emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius asked himself in his journal.
“No.

Instead of getting angry, Marcus later suggests a different approach to himself: “Teach them or endure them.”
