True compassion.
Means understanding duality...embracing it as perfect and stop judging others...oh wait this is SW we all judge because we own no mirrors...grab your pitchforks. SMH.

Be honest. Everyone judges. We could not survive if we didn’t judge. If I hire a babysitter who I judge to be incompetent and reckless, is it wrong of me to warn other parents of my experiences of this babysitter? No, I’m not wrong, I’m possibly saving the well-being of other children. There is judging that is positive, and there is negative (even harmful) judging. You have to know the difference, but we all judge.

I once judged a man to be an arrogant and unfriendly shop assistant because of his attitude and demeanor. I was about to say something to him, but had the thought, “what if he’s going through something?” I said to him, “are you not well?” He asked how I could know. I told him he seemed unfriendly towards his customers, so thought he may be unwell, he apologized profusely. Apparently, he had a migraine and the poor man could hardly see straight. I was so glad I’d asked a kinder question than tell him what I thought of his bad attitude. We never know what’s going on with others. @userfawkes1105
