We never really know someone until we know. When I’m in traffic and someone is on my tail (which is everyday) I always try to think, “They may have had a bad morning, a bad life, something is wrong, etc…” of course I meet blatantly rude and hateful people, but I try not to take anything personal and understand we’re all just doing life. I feel experiences of being around so many different types of people and personalities gives me better empathy. Great one, Pam! 💛🤗

And think of them naked in the middle of a downtown Square. Of course that could be terrifying as well!

I so agree! For most people the good in them is quiet and bland but the bad is loud and very colorful. Kinda hard to miss! I do try to see beyond the bluster and concentrate on the good part of a person, but I don’t always succeed. Maybe that’s the bad in me.

Sometimes we have to stop and listen to hear the quiet ones. But it’s usually worth the effort.

True Pam. And thankfully we have a feel good button called a heart…it, gradually, steers us in that lovely direction. But alas, we have to understand it first by poking it 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

“we have a feel good button called a heart”……I like that Mark. Perhaps we should poke it more often!

We will Ginger, especially those ‘other’ hearts we fall in love with…they show us…’us’, and slowly that points us in the right direction 😀 (Pssst, it does hurt a little bit, specially in the beginning, until we understand. But oh my, when we see it truly, it gladdens the soul for every single step we have taken, and then especially the hard ones) 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Haha, that is brilliant Pam, a defibrillator for each at birth. Fix us all…or turn us into a bunch ‘fibrillator freaks’. And yes, yours is open well 😂 🤣
