It's so easy to think, oh, yeah, I'm going to be more open today. But what are you really doing there? Are you accepting that person the way that they are? Is this a deep love of your neighbor where you're trying to connect to them on a universal level? Or are you just reframing aspects of their existence to be something that benefits you in your own personal projects? Never forget, she would say, that society incentivizes people to fall back into these old habits of projecting their agenda onto things.
