Every single day you have to deal with ‘the others’. At home, at work, when you are out...You meet people, you talk to them and, in so doing, you can’t help noticing different traits of their personalities. The fact is that, although you don’t ignore their positive characteristics, when you see them (They are friendly, nice, funny, generous), it’s the negative ones that mostly catch your attention. They are rude, unfriendly, uncooperative, unavailable, cold, superficial, stingy…Beware! Judging is tricky because, in most cases, it disguises the truth. Yes, your interlocutors may seem as you described them but, if you care to get to know them better, you may realize that a different person is hidden behind the negative appearance. Therefore, a bit of leniency is advisable here: being ‘human’ also means being ‘humane’.
