Can we embrace the many ways humans show up? The good news is we have a back door into understanding the human condition. Ask yourself, have I ever felt that way? If you can have compassion for yourself, it will be easier to offer it to another.
A pitfall can be to judge another. The byproduct of judging another it to lift yourself up at the expense of putting them down. Your judgement also baracades your in, establishing that you are separate, and better. This is a pitfall because it is not true. We all are equal, and all deserving of respect. Be responsible for your choices, but do not stand in judgement on another person's. You can not know all their cirumstances, childhood, or brain chemistry. It is only important to know, that they too are human, and we are all making our way in this often hard life. Have gratitude for your life, and respect for theirs. For all the people we will never have a chance to know, offer them the benefit of the doubt.
