“On paper, being good sounds great but a lot depends on the atmosphere of the workplace or community we live in. We tend to become good or bad depending on the cues sent out within a particular space.”

Meaning

This suggests that morality is not only a private choice, but also something shaped by the mood around us. It can be taken to mean that people often rise or sink to the standards that a workplace or community makes feel normal. It lands in any shared space, where tone, pressure, and example quietly influence conduct.
