I think when we really create value for others, we acknowledge more of their own view of themselves and help them to feel like a "special case" through how we treat them.

Other people's defects are insignificant in the grand scheme of life. So, if we further expand upon Ms. Halsey's commentary, dwelling on shortcomings and defects of self and others is less productive than looking for the good characteristics. This is EASY to say. DIFFICULT to practice. And vice versa…
