Adapted from "Tips on Happiness" by Schopenhauer
"None can see beyond himself. By this I mean that everyone sees in only as much as he is, because it can only perceive and understand the extent permitted by their intelligence. If this is of minimal quality, all the spiritual qualities of the other, even the most lofty will not affect him, and he did not receive anything but the most petty aspects of the personality of the other, thus only its weaknesses and all his defects of temperament and character. For him, these are the constituent elements of the personality of the other .... In fact, every talent is invisible to those who do not have, and each estimate is the product of the value of the estimated capacity finding the estimator .... It will be evident that fools and misfits is only a means to show their intelligence, and is not to talk to them. But then certainly many in society, they will feel like a dancer who went to a dance where you will find only lame people: who will dance? "
