Are you perfect? I know I am not! I make mistakes and mess up because I am human. My mistakes might look different to yours and my judgement might make yours look worse than mine in my head. But sometimes my judgement makes my mistakes looks worse than yours. Either way in our heads is the only place they are worse. In reality they are all the same because they are all human. Human beings doing the best they can in the moment based on the thinking which looks real to them. It's easy to judge when we see behaviour we don't like and it's harder to look at it with compassion. But guess which feels calmer. And from that calm place you are more likely to do something to improve things. Turns out we don't need to get angry to make a change. Perhaps you would like to experience more compassion and therefore feel calmer.
