Thoughtfulness has been underrated

Some people would respect others and

• make an effort to save other people's time,
• really listen to understand other's perspective,
• put thoughts to explain things in a way that is easier to understand,
• make decisions based on principles that are right for the long term,
• invest personal time to benefit a group collectively

but it's not appreciated.
It is probably easy to take things for granted instead of recognizing that and learning from it.
