Summary

This quote suggests that when interacting with others, we should strive to do more than what we would normally expect from them. By going the extra mile and extending our kindness, generosity, or support by 20%, we account for the potential biases and limitations in our own perception. It highlights the importance of being fair, compassionate, and understanding towards others, recognizing that our expectations may not always accurately reflect their capabilities or circumstances. Ultimately, this approach helps to create a more harmonious and considerate environment for everyone involved.
