A guy today in the gym has that thing where he says inappropriate things outside his control. At least, that what it seems to me. And I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
I'll continue to do that today: give the other human beings the benefit of doubt. How do I know for sure what's going through someone's head or what's going on in their lives, why they frowned at me: maybe their tummy hurts. Why they growled at me: maybe they're growling at themselves and the world. Why that hateful word came out of their mouths?
Hate hurts the sender more. The receiver can practice deflection.
I can also focus my energy on what is good. Air conditioning today. My bills paid today. Friends. Family.
I am incredibly blessed. This is my stronghold.
