Building on Compassion
Applying Compassion to Difficult People
I recently wrote an article about compassion and how it can be used as a powerful tool, even a weapon, against difficult people. “Weapon” is my term, and it has nothing to do with beating someone up. On the contrary, it’s about applying compassion to dealing with difficult people in the hopes of starting a conversation that can lead to understanding and compromise.
The Angels have often talked about not engaging in a debate with angry, obnoxious people and tell us to stay clear of them or refuse to enter the fray. When we return anger with more anger, it only breeds still more anger. They’ve also counseled us to try to find compassion for difficult people, because behind all the bluster is fear.
Also, we’ve spoken about listening being equally if not more important than speaking. The best way to get people to listen to you is to listen to them thoughtfully and respectfully. I was cruising YouTube a couple days ago and came across a new listing by Regina Meredith. If you don’t know Regina, she’s hosts the GAIA program, Open Minds, and does a great job bringing in guests who have various psychic gifts and knowledge, among other things. In fact, it was her program that got me interested in The Shift and channeling.
