"When another person makes you suffer, it is because he is suffering deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That is the message he is sending."
"When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable."
-Thich Nhat Hanh
