231116 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Everybody

Rushing to decide, "He's bad!'

Wait! Let me explain.... 

Today's Meditation(s):

I see someone do something I disprefer and believe myself superior to such an obvious cretin. And, naturally, the opposite: they dislike something I like and therefore must be inferior.

So much trouble because I prejudge people and events — believing I know the answer without waiting to see how fate unfurls — trying to shortcut the real person in front of me with a predefined category or some simple formula.

Treat others as real, full, people. Treat them as worthy of care and love and understanding. Treat them as myself.
