I think there might be a difference in what makes a good "you" and what makes a good person other than you.

Kindingence would be a good thing in others. I'm not sure if objectivity is necessary in others. I'm not even sure real objectivity is possible. We ALL think we have objectivity when looking at other people's "mistaken assumptions." I don't think we can think outside the box- we are part of the system, we can't be outside the system and in it at the same time. It's a limitation we'll just have to learn to live with I think. But that's just my opinion. If you manage to get outside the system let me know. :-)

ps- glad you found the thread.

Hi coug,
Don't apologize for creativity! (Which was at the top of my values list- you'll have to go back to last week's posts for Karen's Values List test, but you might enjoy it)

Shakespeare created about 1700 new words and never apologized once to my knowledge. You have to wonder if people in his audience were scratching their heads through his plays, though his new words- like yours-- were meant to be descriptive and so pretty easily interpreted. Some of his words didn't make it... which is interesting. Like gloomy did, but brisky didn't.

So you and X are in good company and you don't need to apologize at all.
