Guess we often see our own faults reflected in another, but don't realize it until we're told. But the goal it to keep on learning and growing and changing and loving and doing it all over again, right? Kinda hard ;pKeturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538625224020600073.post-50441054770461901432020-09-09T11:14:17.254-07:002020-09-09T11:14:17.254-07:00I had just read this post, then a friend was talki...I had just read this post, then a friend was talking to me about a few times that I did this, and I was just like WOW.

Yeah. Let's have compassion, let's enter into others' suffering and others' joy, let's care about THEM and what THEY'RE going through and not get so wrapped up in ourselves and what WE want out of our friendships.

(Well, perhaps it works in some situations! But not grief.) My parents have always told my siblings that before we say something, it should be "true, kind, and necessary," not just true, or kind, or necessary, which seems pertinent here. :)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921781363788196695noreply@blogger.com
