It’s more difficult to understand. Understanding requires compassion, patience, and a willingness to believe that good hearts sometimes choose poor methods.
Through judging, we separate. Through understanding, we grow.
— Doe Zantamata
I’ve sat in numerous weekend group workshops (with usually 16 other people) and at the beginning it’s easy to quickly categorize everyone. As the weekend progresses and the “work” delves into each of us, the strangers become people. After hearing about each person’s story and family background, the people become individuals with justified feelings. After the “clearing” workshop (where you have to approach anyone you have discomfort with, and own up to your feelings as your own stuff), the individuals become brave, humble souls… and many of them become friends. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
