“Have compassion for everyone you meet,
even if they don’t want it.
What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism
is always a sign of things no ears have heard,
no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on
down there where the spirit meets the bone.”
-Miller Williams
Oh, so true. I have learned so much the past nearly five years interacting with numerous nationalities who don’t know our language or who are trying to learn our ways; homeless people, and drug addicts. Compassion being #1.
Remember that verse, “Judge not, lest you also be judged”? We can never know what trials someone else may be going through. Be Kind. Some day, you may be in their shoes.
