CHAPTER

Seeing Others as Grown Children

In chapter 15, i taught you a simple thought and visualization exercise that allows you to implement more ampathy into your life. The basic idea was this, you can quite literally, translocate yourself through the actual eyes of any one with whom you are interacting. See each adult human you interact with as some one who was once a baby. This practice can drastically change the way you interact with, view and judge people. It can transform your interactions with others into something more like the gentle, loving, forgiving and patient interaction you'd have with a baby or with a child. We should always retain in our lives some semblance of the magic and joy of childhood.
