One of life’s best teachers?
Personal experience in most areas of our awake life, often ends up as one of life’s best teachers.
From own experience and conscious observations, the personal experience of issues or occurrences often tends to make people more patient & tolerant and less prone to judging & dismissing others or even becoming condescending of such people and other human beings. Aware that different our experiences and environments shape our lives’ perspectives & attitude(s), we are more able to avoid being judgmental. We have learnt that presenting issues often result from underlying issues as psychology essentially teaches.
Experience also teaches people to become less abusive..
For instance, people who have consciously lived with siblings and even relatives who have battled with addictions or even inexplicable physical, emotional or mental conditions and have firsthand seen and felt the struggles such people go through and especially in efforts to overcome the conditions, the conscious people can easily commiserate with the victims and others including strangers they (the conscious & observant people) may meet living with such conditions.
Essentially, we (those who have faced such dilemmas) easily identify with the struggles the victims evidently go through and unless we are myopic, we cannot merely dismiss and judge such people, the inadvertent victims.
Instead, we may contemplate more, think deeper and even be moved to help and in instances where helping instantly is impossible, we plead to God almighty’s help on such people’s behalf.
