This makes a lot of sense to me, seems true in my experience.

I know that I personally do view things from within the perspective of my own experience and own ego. And when I’m emotionally over the top that ego can become inflated to include everybody, all of mankind. I don’t want to take something personally if it’s not intended for me, but if the shoe fits, wear it.

Here’s the problem, as I see it. When one’s ego defenses are strong, then one CAN’T easily see/feel another’s perspective. How can that change? On the first page of this thread I reposted a comment from DBTDiva from another thread. Check back there if you’re interested. To me, I think that when people can receive feedback in a safe environment, then it can be easier to see another’s point of view. How do people create that environment and provide feedback. . .maybe we're doing that little by little, at least here?
