The
painful thing is that when we buy into disapproval, we are practicing
disapproval. When we buy into harshness, we are practicing harshness.
The more we do it, the stronger these qualities become. How sad it is
that we become so expert at causing harm to ourselves and others. The
trick then is to practice gentleness and letting go. We can learn to
meet whatever arises with curiosity and not make it such a big deal.
