The human being has an unfortunate tendency to wish to please.
Philip K. Dick's novel "Radio Free Albemuth" explores the complexities of human nature, particularly the desire to seek approval and acceptance from others.

The quote reflects a critical view of this tendency, suggesting that it can be detrimental. It highlights the struggle between personal identity and societal expectations, posing a challenge for individuals who wish to remain true to themselves while navigating a world that often prioritizes communal acceptance over individual expression.
