Rawls says, I assume then that someone's plan of life will lack a certain attraction for him if it fails to call upon his natural capacities in an interesting fashion. When activities fail to satisfy the Aristotelian Principle, they are likely to seem dull and flat, and to give us no feeling of competence or a sense that they are worth doing.

Rawls asserts, For while it is true that unless our endeavors are appreciated by our associates it is impossible for us to maintain the conviction that they are worthwhile, it is also true that others tend to value them only if what we do elicits their admiration or gives them pleasure.

(1971: 441) So, the degree of complexity in the activities that make up one's life plan influences one's self-respect both directly and indirectly. One's sense of worth is bolstered by one's engaging in complex activities and by one's associates' appreciation of one's endeavors.
