Meeting the Other Where They're At

A lot of times, the trap here is that we care about the suffering of someone close to us because we just want to quickly help them. That's not really caring about their suffering for its own sake. You got to meet people weare theyre at. The next point is understanding and forgiveness. Understanding, especially whele they make mistakes, forgiving them for making mistakes, not holding grudges a not demonizing and and moralizing to the one you love.
