Disliking/Hating Tendency
The opposite of the liking/loving tendency is also true. We tend to disfavor
people we already
dislike and hate to a level of irrationality. This results in:
● Ignoring the virtues of people we dislike.
● Disliking people, products, and actions merely associated with the object of
our dislike.
● Distorting facts in order to facilitate hatred.
Quotes
[A] major difference between rich and poor people is that the rich people can
spend
their lives suing their relatives.” Warren
Buffet as quoted by Munger
Politics is the art of marshalling hatreds.” Anonymous
Examples
● “When the World Trade Center was destroyed, many Pakistanis immediately
concluded that the Hindus did it, while many Muslims concluded that the Jews
did it.” Munger
● Similarly, post 911 years saw investment fund managers with foreign sounding
names experiencing reduced fund flow from investors , in comparison to
counterparts with
commonplace American names. In other words, before having evidence, they used
the tragedy to further their
preexisting hatred. Resource Elizabeth Lesser Take the Other to Lunch (TED
Talk).
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxEnvy/Jealousy Tendency
Munger points how out our evolutionary desire to own others’ possessions leads
to worse
situations like hatred, fights and so on. Abraham Tesser’s academic research on
the
Self Evaluation Model counterintuitively shows that our self esteem
suffers and therefore, feel the most jealous of other people when they’re:
● Close to us (ie sibling, friend)
● Outcompeting us in areas that are important to us
Quotes
It is not greed that drives the world, but envy.” Warren
Buffet as quoted by Munger
Antidotes
● Disarm other people’s jealousy of you with vulnerability.
● Practice mindfulness when you feel jealous or envious accept and appreciate
your
emotions. Your emotions often are telling you something about yourself, and
being
aware of what messages they bring can bring you new personal insights.
Example
In the Wesco Annual Meeting (2000), Munger made the following remark on the
importance of
being satisfied with one’s own life: “Here's one truth that perhaps your
typical investment
counselor would disagree: if you're comfortably rich and someone else is
getting richer
faster than you by, for example, investing in risky stocks, so what ?! Someone
will always be
getting richer faster than you. This is not a tragedy.”
