Question Everything's Thought of the Day, January 10, 2008

It strikes me that this is true in so many situations, not only when we are hostile. When we envy the life of another, or in any way judge it, we are falling into the same trap.

We never truly know it all. No matter what we see, we do not see anyone else at all times - 24 hours a day - or in all ways. The thoughts and emotions that people feel are never fully expressed, even by the most open people.

It is easy to assign our own weight and emotions to the circumstances that we do see; after all, what else do we know but what we see and what we feel? There is little way for us to know more - even by listening with an open mind, we only hear what we are told, which is as naturally flawed and imperfect as each of us is by definition.

Today's thought is to have compassion, even when you cannot see a reason for that compassion. No one's life is perfect, but even if you cannot see those imperfections, you can know that they exist.
