Text: The way a person sees himself is reflected in how he sees others. If he has a good attitude toward himself, he tends to see nice things in other people. If he has a negative attitude toward himself, he tends to see faults and flaws in others. If he likes himself, he tends to like those people around him. If he does not like himself, he dislikes others for the same reasons. If someone is harsh with others, chances are he is pretty harsh with himself. We can get a good sense of how other people feel toward themselves by seeing how treat us. If they give us a hard time, chances are they give themselves a hard time as well. Sometimes we need to be compassionate instead of defensive. - Ram Butler
