Отрывок из книги
“A man’s true estate of power and riches is to be in himself; not in his dwelling or position or external relations, but in his own essential character.”
Henry Ward Beecher (1813 – 1887)
.....
There are times when I have been in disagreement or angry with a colleague or friend and I have found myself steaming inside to “get back” at that person! I admit it, I’m not perfect and I bet you’ve had similar thoughts in these situations as well. But I let those thoughts evaporate as I cool off that steam and my faith counters by listening to the logic of compassion.
This logical compassion isn’t about inaction or surrender – it’s about compassionate action that is motivated by my self respect. Instead of telling myself to “not sink to someone else’s level,” I am aware that I don’t want to sink below my own standards and values. I make that choice, comparing the expression of me to my authentic self. Logical compassion requires that I respect myself; acknowledge and utilize the ambiguities of each situation; look long term at the consequences of my responses; and show respect for the person with whom I’m in disagreement. Have anger, false pride, some other issue, or inattention prevented me from listening to the other person and responding, with an open heart?
