Be Willing to Share Pain

More often than not, the most healing thing we can do with someone who is in pain, rather than trying to get rid of that pain, is to sit there and be willing to share it. –Scott Peck

Featured Quote

Where we do not project, we may see something which displeases us but we can decide for ourselves whether it is necessary or important or relevant that we go and do something about it. … However, when we see something which displeases us and are compulsively involved in how we feel about it, and can neither take or nor leave it, then we are projecting. Projection denies us freedom of choice.
