Quote
It is the very belief that we can somehow make others feel respected that justifies the silence, sugar-coating, understating and avoidance that corrupt relationships. We tell ourselves it is our job to rescue others from hurt feelings, so we measure how much of our real selves and honest perspectives we should share before it will cause them to crumble. As a result, we commit to a life of calculation and manipulation. The result is relationships of alienation rather than true connection.Share
