beetigerWhat do you feel is our greatest shared trait or characteristic?
Greatest as in most-in-common? I'm afraid we are both far too emotionally susceptible to our own perceptions of other people's negative perceptions of ourselves. Often, we're making it up. This combined with a lack of perceptiveness about the effects of our own words and behavior on other people make us difficult people sometimes.
But greatest as in best? I think we both have a deep, deep capacity to care for other people, no matter how clumsily we express it. It's a virtue, and a gift.
