hand-1549224_640Do not assume that everyone thinks as you do.  Humans are different for a reason.  Interacting with others provides your greatest opportunities for soul growth.  If you lived in a cave, yes you would learn, for the sensory deprivation and silence would provide you ample opportunity to go within and learn from the higher Self.  But it is from this higher dimension that you have come in order to have the human experience.  Instead of thinking always of the self—higher or lower—ask, “What can I learn today from those I meet?”  Remain open and receive the gifts.
