Compassion

How do you react when someone is attacking you?

Owww... too high temperature??? or remain neutral? I easily lost my patience....
I got to read this inspiration quote, it's such a refreshing reminder when someone felt bad about me...

When brothers or sisters attack you they are subconsciously asking for love. They might not ever believe this, but I know in your heart you understand what it is I am sharing with you. This is one of the reasons you and those living in the light should try to be more patient with angry brothers or sisters. These angry brothers or sisters are lost. They are feeling bad about themselves and taking it out on you. They take it out on you because they believe that you are the easier target. They could not take it out on God because lost brothers or sisters usually have a fear of God.

The next time a brother or sister who is ruled by the ego attacks you, consider that he or she is simply asking for love. He or she is a lost soul asking you for direction. Would you lead him or her toward more darkness or toward the light? This is the choice you make every time you react to a lost brother or sister.

Understand that the choice you make will bring you closer to the place you send him or her. Lead him or her toward darkness, and you too shall experience the darkness. Lead him or her toward light, and you too shall experience the light.
