Everything we do is in service of our needs. When this one concept is applied to our view of others, we'll see that we have no real enemies, that what others do to us is the best possible thing they know to do to get their needs met.

I never have to worry about another person's response, only how I react to what they say.

Keep in mind that other people's actions can never 'make' you feel any certain way. Feelings are your warning indicators.

With empathy we don't direct, we follow. Don't just do something, be there.

Classifying and judging people promotes violence.

My anger tells me firstly that there's a need of mine that's not getting met.

Plans to exact retribution are never going to make us safer.
