“The character traits which you do not appreciate about another person are also the very same tools that person has used to circumnavigate their life. We must not face another individual while bearing criticism for what we don't approve about them, because the traits people develop are their necessary tools applied to their own unique lives. Instead of criticizing, ask yourself, what kind of a life has this other person lived, that require such tools to be necessary. And what tools might you be yielding as a result of your own distinct journey, that others may also not understand?”
