The Weaknesses of Human Nature.

I realize that many times people are unable to completely overcome their animalistic flaws.
There was someone before—I won’t mention gender. When working at a small platform, he was especially humble at first, often calling you “bro” and “brother,” checking in on you with warm concern.
Later, when this person went to a big platform, it was as if he had become a different person. He would read your messages but not reply, and his way of addressing people changed—from “teacher” and “bro” to calling them directly by their names. In offline situations too, he refused to use his former employer’s title; between the lines, he was trying to let everyone know: things are different now.
I watched everything happen with my own eyes. As someone who experienced it firsthand, at the beginning I felt like this person had “drifted” and started to reject him deep down in my heart.
But recently, I’ve had a different thought: maybe he had been suppressing himself for too long, and he should have endured a fair number of grievances and stares. After all, in this circle the divide between extremes is too severe.
Take this Hong Kong Carnival as an example—some people live in Central, while others live in youth hostels.
This person had only climbed up from the bottom and still didn’t know how to adapt to his new identity; and I also hadn’t adapted to his new identity.
I developed a sense of repulsion because of his changes, and even developed prejudice against him. Now that I look back, isn’t this kind of psychology—being condescending while looking down on others from a position of superiority based on fixed assumptions—also one of my own flaws that I can’t overcome?
So it turns out, this is also a weakness of my human nature.
