More than anything else, we would like to experience ourselves as an understandable human. As we take the time to back away from judgment, we widen our perspective. With enough distance and time, our understanding may grow.
The more often we repeat this process, the more likely it is that we will offer this to others. When we don’t understand someone, instead of judging them, we may take time and space from them, so we may broaden our view and remember that we’ve had to do that with our own issues in the past. Over time and frequent repetitions, we come to experience the world with all of its complexity as meaningful.
What have you come to understand about yourself? How does that help you in understanding others? Ki to Happiness is an understandable human living in a meaningful world.
