Personal identity is the product of an entire life journey. No matter how crazy someone’s viewpoint seems to you, it might work perfectly well for them. When you can see that their current approach is the best adaptation they’ve been able to develop up to this point, it improves your life. Although dismissively critiquing others momentarily eases the discomfort of difference, it eventually creates a world of us and them. Since your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between you and anyone else, judgmental thoughts about them erodes your self-esteem. Understanding…
Builds it.
