This is the kind of quote to expect from Westerners (especially Americans) brainwashed into a system in which every individual tends to be highly egotic and narcissistic.

Raghy has made some sensible observations. Even Europeans will agree with Raghy.

Shri Naina_Marbus,

I don't think the quote in the OP can be related to shaping one's complete personality, by all sorts of interactions, involvements and influences, living in a Human society, and grow as a matured adult.

The quote is to be related to human relations, with each others acceptance, to be in a relationship..

For example (other than family relationships. I have hinted the relevance of the OP with family relationships in two of my previous posts) -

1) You don't have the habit of smoking and drinking. But you may still like one such guy with all his personal indulgence as one of your closest friends. Both of you may accept each other, with each others different habits/practices and continue to retain good friendship for years together. Because you both could accept and value each other.

2) You don't believe in God/Spirituality and you have utter contempt towards that. But still you may like a theist and continue to retain your good friendship with him.

3) You don't indulge in and have utter contempt to extra marital affairs. But, you may like a person and be in a very good friendly relationship with him, despite his extra marital affairs with his own personal reasons.

4) You hate folks of other faith. But, you may have a very close friendship with such a person, valuing him and his friendship.

etc..etc..etc...

In all the above examples, both your self and the other guy are complete with the sense of love and respect towards each others friendship and continue to value the relationship. This can happen only because, both of you have heartily accepted each other completely and could make each other complete, with the true sense of friendship.

So, IMO, this quote is applicable to all Humans on this Earth, irrespective of their dwelling zones (East or West)

This post of mine is not to refute your POV. BUT, just an attempt to share my different view with you.
