We are not automatically paid-up members of the human race except by birth. We all need to be bounced around in a barrel with the rest of humanity. That is what makes (and keeps) us human. If we don't have that we become self-absorbed and can see little value in other people. Thus we alienate ourselves from our brothers and sisters and see them as little more than objects. And we don't respect objects, we use them to further our own ends without regard for their feelings. All the talent in the world will not make you human. Only by interacting with people and respecting them do we achieve that status.To do less is to be less than human.
