“Less than human”
Our saying “seeing each other as less than human” reflects that what someone makes available to us, or what we choose to “see” in a someone, can be a partial person. In such case, the “seeing” misses.

Teenager curious factor
In conversation, it is a question of how many of our person-aspects we make available to one another.
A politician, a salesperson, each only choose to make available to us less than unity. I did not choose that word unity, but it offered itself to me. It seems appropriate as being evocative. We can become unity with our other only if our other allows it, makes him or her self available to us. Open is another word for available. Whatever the word, there is something more than us available to us if we allow for unity.
Think on a teenager, slumping in her chair, only demonstrating a small amount of her being. The curious factor is, she wants to be seen as a whole person, real, substantial, all the while she withholds!

Less than three
Do we sometimes with a ball play in less than three dimensions? As in when we watch a ball game on a television? As in when we look at it and do not pick it up?
