Relationships: Bifurcated Heart

From EveryDayIsAwesome.

Is it possible to generate compassion and loving kindness for people who’s actions are intentionally harmful toward others? Can you separate the person from the deed and grasp on to whatever goodness is present in order to craft a loving response, despite the vile nature of their actions?

Personally, have a terrible time with this one. On the other hand, guessing there are others who say the same of me.

Hmmm. Enlightenment is a long road with many short steps.

As I've shared with you, I struggle with doing this myself, but as you say, there are probably those who feel the same about me. Mom
