How do we other on the daily? By deciding anything about our lives, our time, our needs is more important than anyone else's. We decide that our humanity is more "real," that our experience is the only one that matters. We do this all day, every time someone takes a long time at the cashier in front of us, or is going straight on a red light, when we could turn right. We make strangers "others," less real then we are. What we don't realize is that this is cutting us off from our humanity, from our own heart.
