It is our culture that decides how large and inclusive our moral circle is, but it is each of us who makes up our culture.

Like a knife against armor, they found the cracks, slid past the guard, and you didn’t know how deep they were buried until they were gone and you were bleeding on the floor.","author":"V.E.

When there is pride and self-righteousness and being pretentiously too far above, generally, one has a difficult time reaching the compassionate side of love for others, the side that understands (or at least attempts to understand): 'I am aware that I am not so far from falling in the same way.' Humility seeks to understand, and sometimes even relate; and in result, the love lovingly, properly, effectively wills the removal of the destructive sins of another as from oneself.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["caring","caring-for-others","compassion","constructive-criticism","discernment","humility","hypocrisy","judgmental","love","pride","purity","self-destruction","self-righteousness","sin"],"id":5566,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"If God places a child before you, and you are too busy to wield either a positive or negative influence...You just did the later!

In addition, we may try to show caring through advising or attempting to fix the other person's problems, which doesn't work for creating closeness because it places you in a superior position, the one who can fix things, seeding resentment in the other person.","author":"Kira Asatryan","tags":["caring","closeness","giving-advice","worry"],"id":7458,"author_id":"Kira+Asatryan"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":492,"pages":50,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
