When someone says, "Keep it professional," I hear, "I like how things are because they benefit me."
When someone says, "I haven't experienced what you're describing.", I hear, "I don't believe you."
When someone says, "We shouldn't dwell on it.", I hear, "I'm uncomfortable, and it's your job to relieve my discomfort."
When someone says, "I don't like your tone.", I hear, "I have authority over you, and you must listen to me."
When someone says, "That wasn't my intention." I hear, "It's your fault you feel that way."
Humility. Humanity. They’re both from the root word “humus” which is “earth” or “ground”.
Simply put, one can not be human-centered if one is not humility-centered.
