Why can't we just be "excellent" to each other?

RE: Why can't we just be "excellent" to each other?
We're social animals. Acceptance and feeling useful are naturally gratifying. Of course, so is authenticity so we all have to find a balance between being for the general good and being who we are and dancing to our own drummer. I find it best to develop a diversified portfolio. Picking one dimension to emphasize above all others, such as charity/benevolence, will probably not satisfy in the long run.
