Softening Judgment | March 18, 2015
Falling
down is what we humans do. If we can acknowledge that fact, judgment
softens and we allow the world to be as it is, forgiving ourselves and
others for our humanity. The Buddha’s First Noble Truth—that suffering
exists—is, in itself, a permission to be human and not demand more of
ourselves than we’re capable of. Our compassion arises from our very
fallibility, and love takes root in the soils of human error.
- Lin Jensen, "An Ear to the Ground"
