What he means by this is we only talk and interact with people in brief conversations and interactions. We simply don't have enough time to understand each other and their values.

We simply are in the way of each other, thus losing all respect for one another because they are always in the way.]]> 2019-01-14 16:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1100300557/solitude13_14_15/wish/320395421 Group names/duties c9171k https://padlet.com/1100300557/solitude13_14_15/wish/320397185 Connor- paragraph 13, editing and final touches
