You cannot begin to know another’s pain, another’s sorrow, another’s motive while you stay in judging mode.  Yes, it is the human way to compare, so compare how you act when you are hurting with how you act when you care about the self.  Know that you are capable of all manner of reactions, those you would label good and those you would label bad, for that is the human experience.  Just when you finish pointing your finger at another, the tables turn, and others are whispering behind your back.  We do not say this to cause you angst, simply to bring awareness that you are all human and deserve the greatest of compassion, care, and understanding.  This begins by stepping back from judgment into the neutral but compassionate view of the soul. 

You are so very loved.
