"Imagine you are walking in the woods
and you see a small dog sitting by a
tree. As you approach it, it suddenly
lunges at you, teeth bared. You are
frightened and angry. But then you
notice that one of its legs is caught in
a trap. Immediately your mood shifts
from anger to concern: You see that
the dog's aggression is coming from a
place of vulnerability and pain. This
applies to all of us. When we behave in
hurtful ways, it is because we are
caught in some kind of trap. The more
we look through the eyes of wisdom at
ourselves and one another, the more
we cultivate a compassionate heart."

Don’t take things personally. Look beyond the first degree of perception. Avoid being judgmental. Practice empathy, compassion. It will open space for both of you to heal.
This is useful when your wife is PMSing (she’s suffering), when your teenage child is screaming (he/she’s suffering), when your partner can’t smile at you because he/she had a bad day at work (he/she’s suffering), and so many other occurrences… Choose love
