So the next time someone clearly acts like a horrible person towards you for no apparent reason, you should know that they are on some level.. unloved! With this in mind it may be easier to actually reach out and say: “How are you?” or “Is there anything I can do for you?” or maybe you just give them a hug. If you do, you’ll most likely see a totally different reaction.
This reminds me of a story a friend of mine named Anthony who was held up at gunpoint in an alley in Los Angeles by a couple homeless guys. Instead of reacting he realized these guys were unloved and said something to the effect of: “It must be really difficult having to get by every day.” By engaging with his heart not his fists, he was able to reach the “Buddha Nature” of these men and they let him go with no robbery. Of course the Buddha Nature is the 10th world of the 10 worlds which we will leave for another blog post. Peace and love my friends. -C
