I treat people with consideration and respect.


Consideration is mostly forecasting. You send the message saying ten minutes late so the other person can order a drink instead of standing outside checking their phone. You put the bin out on the night you know they work a late shift.

None of it registers as an event. Consideration is invisible when it works — its entire product is a bad moment that didn't happen to somebody else. Which is why it's so rarely thanked, and why the people best at it assume nobody notices. Usually somebody does, years later, and mentions it at a strange time.
