compassion

“Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.

You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.” – Miller Williams

As a therapist (and a human) I love this quote for two reasons:

  • everyone is busy judging others without knowing why the ‘other’ is doing what they are doing.
  • I love a ‘well turned’ phrase, and You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone. is a very well turned phrase.
