A day later and this thread still brings my mind back to the challenge of getting along with difficult people. Because on some level, we are all difficult people. We just don't always recognize this.

I am deeply aware of my own limitations for dealing with difficult people. People who habitually lie. People who talk loudly without thinking. People who exploit other people. People who lack kindness.

But we do need to get along with people we don't like. And as a society I think we are increasingly bad at this. we are increasingly selfish and intolerant. Which is why I worry that as i get older, I too am becoming less tolerant.
