Compassionate
action gives us an opportunity to wake up to some of our motives and to
act with more freedom. It gives us the chance to put ourselves out on
the edge, and if we are willing to take a clean look at what we see
there, we can come to know ourselves better. We can’t, of course, change
what is arising in us at any moment, because we can’t change our pasts
and our childhoods. But when we listen to our own minds and stop being
strangers to ourselves, we increase the number of ways we can respond to
what arises.
