Compassionate

Understanding people! How often do we actually understand what is going on in the lives of people? Or, even attempt to ? Most of the time, we end up reacting to every look, every word....every gesture...
When we are in public, we expect a certain kind of behavior from people. But we forget, as we don our masks, others do, too. But a mask is a mask after all. It can slip with an unexpected trigger. And when the facade drops momentarily and the hurt and pain are revealed, we never stop to think of the reasons why that person may have accidently become transparent. Instead, we react immediately.
Understanding people is nothing short of personal healing. When you attribute a genuine reason to a person's slipped mask, you will feel a sense of well being for yourself for having been compassionate. For having gone into the depth of a person's psyche to recognize the soul within. What can be more elevating?
