We live in duality and because of that it is very easy to make generalizations and become attached to beliefs and concepts.
Doing so can be very limiting to our awareness of the options we have at the moment, making a lot of ppl selective ignorant to the things they need most.
Embracing that duality by becoming more conscious of all our aspects give us clarity, because that duality give us the contrast we need to see things.
Without that it would be like trying to see in a room full of darkness or full of light... You cant see unless you have a balance between light and shadows.
And I find that to also be the key to compassion and empathy. How can we truly understand or even forgive someone if we have no clue about what is going on within their consciousness including experiences, emotions and motivations?
That is why getting to know other ppl, while being open and honest in the way we express ourselves, is the key to real empathy and compassion. Because it can inspire them to do the same and open up about how they truly feel including their fears. A lot of times it is not our strengths that connect us to other ppl but our weaknesses, so exposing it is not only a way to heal it but also a way to connect to others and heal while doing so.
I like to take the time to put myself in other ppls shoes by using whatever I can observe, feel or experience with that person, because even if whatever I can perceive is not accurate at that time... it is enough to start understanding how they feel, how they act, their strengths and weaknesses and many other aspects that become more clear over time, even if just by trial and error.
And then even when we perceive something that goes in opposition to how we feel or our beliefs, it is still mutually beneficial experience. Because when we are not limited to our own perspective we can learn new things that we would not become aware so easily other wise and maybe by sharing our perspective we can inspire them to become aware of something that they are not.
In the long run we realize that we can build up on that understanding till a simple look is enough... and the more we learn about others we also learn more about ourselves. With time that becomes part of us, it is something we do naturally and make us truly care about everyone no matter how fucked up they seem because in away they are just our reflection.
To me this also seems to be the key to end things like racism, subversion, intolerance, prejudice and all the things that we are subject to in our society right now, that only serve to put ppl against each other in an endless competition where no one wins in and endless cycle of many addictions that only serve to distract ppl to the fact that...
