Save![The opacity of the mind, its inability to project itself into the realm of another's personality, goes a long way to explain the friction of life.

The opacity of the mind, its inability to project itself into the realm of another’s personality, goes a long way to explain the friction of life. If we would set down other people’s errors to this rather than to malice prepense we should not only get more good out of life and feel more kindly toward our fellows, but doubtless the rectitude of our intellects would increase, and the justice of our judgments…we are so shut away from one another that none tells those about him what he considers ideal treatment on their part toward him…nothing will probe to the core of this greatest disadvantage under which we labor–that is, mutual noncomprehension–except a basis of society and government which would make it easy for each to put himself in another’s place because his place is so much like another’s…we [would] need less imagination in order to do that which is just and kind to every one about us.
