Yes! I think a big part of seeing others, is being about to see ourselves. We know that we're not always as patient or empathetic as we wish we were, so maybe it will help us to remember, when someone else responds sharply to something we've said or done, that they may be having a bad day and may wish they could take back their words. But, I know you've got a kind and empathetic heart. Truly, I think most of us do, although if we've encountered too much personal pain and suffering, it may be very difficult for us to express.
Life is so dynamic, it's always changing; we're never allowed to *stop*--no laurel resting! But on the other hand, we're never trapped forever with our bad situations or our bad ways, either. We're always able to change and adjust and try again and try new.
Yes! We do keep learning and growing, and that can be tiring, but it's also a source of hope and renewal. Redemption, not in some other life, but in this one, is possible.
