“This person, like me, is trying to do the best they can with the knowledge, ability, and responsibilities they have, just like I am. …”
But many (maybe most) people are not, in fact, trying to do the best they can with what they have.
By ‘best they can’ I didn’t necessarily mean ‘self-actualize’ or ‘contribute as a net positive’ but more like ‘navigate the difficult demands of life.’
By that understanding, I think most people I encounter fit this description.
Apologies for the imprecision.
