“How does my nature, my personality, my disposition, my intentions, my attitudes, my actions, my example, affect the lives of everyone I come in contact with?

Am I indifferent to the effect I have on other people?

Do I respond critically, negatively, indifferently, when I am approached for innocent conversation or on a particular subject that I am not thinking of at that moment?

Am I charitable in my approach to everyone I meet?  Do I respond with dignity to their presence?  Am I respectful?  Do I leave others with the impression that I am a decent human being with sound morals and sound standards?  Am I loyal to confidences or do I pass them around where they should not be?

Do I talk too much, never allowing the other person a chance to express what they are thinking?  Do I contradict ideas, motives, that someone else is interested in or happy about?  Do I provoke irritation with my attitude, indiscreetness or obnoxious need for attention, overshadowing another person or other people?  Do I respond with sarcasm when I disagree?”
