You and I and everyone else peaks here or there, each of us a combination of crests and troughs of every characteristic, each of us a bouncing surface on a human and personal ocean.
Most of us want to be viewed as wavelike: If we have our troughs of failings, we also have our crests of successes. We want others to see our personal troughs in the context of our crests.
Try this. Picture others as ocean waves. See each of their actions and characteristics as momentary crests and troughs. Thinking of others as waves is how we want them to think of us: Variable with more crests than troughs.
Recognize that no one’s personal trough exists without accompanying crests.
