I think I'm as hard on other people as I am on myself. I live by the rule to not expect any more or less from someone else that I'm not willing to expect from myself. It's a pretty tough rule, as my kids would probably attest.
But, I really don't expect much: integrity, honesty, accountability, compassion, fairness, sensibility. I'm not very patient, but I'm very tolerant. I'm also not very forgiving and will hold a grudge just about forever; not good karma, I know. I'm working on this.
The wisdom we gain as we mature would cause some here to view things differently, if reality presented itself. Trust me, this I know to be true.
