“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
— J.K. Rowling
Simplified Meaning:
To understand someone's true character, you should see how they behave toward people who have less power or status than them, not just with those who are on the same level. For example, in a workplace, pay attention to how a manager talks to and treats the cleaning staff, not just other managers. If they are kind and respectful to everyone regardless of their position, they are likely a good person. On the other hand, if they are nice only to people who can help them or are on their level but rude to others who can't, it shows poor character. Applying this to your life, be mindful of how you treat everyone, especially those who might not have the same advantages as you. Treating everyone with kindness and respect reveals your true nature and earns genuine respect from others.
