Underneath even the most annoying behavior is a frustrated person who is crying out for compassion. The next time (and hopefully from now on), when someone acts in a strange way, look for the innocence in his behavior. If you’re compassionate, it won’t be hard to see. When you see the innocence, the same things that have always frustrated you no longer do. And, when you’re not frustrated by the actions of others, it’s a lot easier to stay focused on the beauty of life.
