"In the past, people worked together only when some great disaster threatened"

- Walter Ulbricht

About this Quote

This quote by Walter Ulbricht speaks to the idea that in the past, individuals just collaborated when confronted with a fantastic catastrophe. This suggests that individuals were not as cooperative or collective as they are today. It indicates that people were most likely to act in their own self-interest, rather than for the greater good. This could be due to an absence of trust between people, or a lack of understanding of the value of collaborating. It might likewise be due to a lack of resources or innovation that would have allowed people to work together more effectively. Whatever the reason, it is clear that in the past, people were not as going to work together as they are today. This quote acts as a reminder of how far we have actually been available in regards to cooperation and cooperation, and how essential it is to continue to interact in order to achieve our objectives.
