John R. Miles: 我一直认为每个人都很重要,并且可以通过有意识地重建生活。对我来说,'重要'意味着每个人都有内在世界,对他们来说非常重要。我们倾向于认为自己的内心世界非常重要,而其他人的则不然。但当我们能够反过来思考,意识到每个人的内心世界对他们来说都和我的一样重要时,我们就会意识到没有人是不重要的,因为这对他们来说意义重大。通过思考自己和他人的重要性,我们可以不再以自我为中心。 Eric Zimmer: 我完全同意John的观点。每个人都希望拥有更多美好的体验,减少不好的体验,或者换句话说,体验更多的快乐,减少痛苦。这适用于每个人。这种共性是我们所有人的基础。一切都源于策略,人们为了实现这些目标而采取的策略。通过这种方式看待事物,我们能够更好地在最深层次上与他人建立联系,因为对他们和他们周围的人来说,他们非常重要。这是一种通过思考自己和他人的重要性,来摆脱以自我为中心的方式。
