Consideration, on the other hand, refers to treatment with respect and civility : “I had a great time, they treated me with a lot of consideration in this house,” “He didn't have any consideration for me even though I am an older man.”
When we talk about consideration within what the relationship with others would be, it must be emphasized that this is carried out when the following parameters are followed:
- When the feelings of others are respected.
- When we worry about how other people will feel based on our opinions, ideas or actions.
- When we do not try to convince others to think like us, we respect and tolerate their way of understanding things, even if we consider them to be wrong.
- When we do not bother others when we know that they cannot dedicate time to us because they are working, studying or carrying out an important activity for them.
- When we are going to give someone a gift and we really think about their tastes and needs instead of ours.
In all these actions, the person who carries them out is considered to be a truly thoughtful individual.
