Seeing the Sadness Behind the Badness !!

"Every person has their secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a person cold [or bad] when really they're only sad."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1901)

This is something I think everyone should not only know, but also incorporate into their operational psyche in such ways as to totally reframe their treatment of all people they meet and interact with; particularly those people who seem bent on hurting us as individuals. It explains so many things and augments our compassion toward the hurtful, whilst helping us to feel less fearful and less safe around them.
