widening the circle of compassion
Widening the circle of compassion: it’s daring not to shut anyone out of hearts, not to make anyone an enemy. If we begin to live like this, we’ll find that we actually can’t define someone as completely right or completely wrong anymore. Life is more slippery and playful than that. Trying to find absolute rights and wrongs is a trick we play on ourselves to feel secure and comfortable.
(Pema Chodron)
