The others are not the problem

So many things happen around us that take us by surprise, off guard, or we simply didn’t expect them. Our attitude towards those things tends to take the blame or to make someone pay for those mistakes, when in fact, there is no one else to blame at all, or yourself.

As days, hours, minutes, seconds unfold, the things we react to we barely notice. But that doesn’t mean those never happened.

If someone is angry at us, the first thing we do is to be defensive. We don’t like to be blamed. So instead of firing back, take a minute and realize we cannot be aware of everything we feel. Be wise and acknowledge what the other feels so you can ask for forgiveness of those things that pass us by.
