PRACTICING THE COMPASSIONATE LIFE
Reflection Question:
Have you ever been unjustly treated? Have you seen another person being opressed? How did you respond?
I had a friend in High School who was an incredibly perceptive manipulator. I was naive at the time and she was impacted by a whole slew of issues in her family, so I don't hold anything against her. But I do recognize now that, most likely without understanding what she was doing, she used a vulnerable friend to satisfy her need to be the "savior."
I have a hard time with this question only because even though I have been mistreated from time to time, it's very minor compared to what some people in this world suffer.
