This is a question i have recently been asked, well more directly how do i see this person as such a great person. I honestly can not say. But i can say that in my heart, and through my own compassion. I see others as i chose to see them. I guess it comes from my past how i act in the present.
I was one of those made fun of kids, the one who was poor and teased all his life. I learned how to deal with that on my own. But today i chose not to be like those who once ridiculed me, no i chose to be better then that.
I try to take my pain, and learn from it, and what i have learned is this. What i desire is what everyone desires. Admiration, understanding, compassion, and kindness. So by my choice i chose to do this for others. I try to compliment them when i see something i like about them, i try to lift their spirits as best i can. And while some may think i am acting, i am far from this. When my heart reaches out to touch another, it does it with all it has to offer. And yes sometimes i may seem a bit much, and i may say things to often. For this is my short cumming. For in my eyes i see past a individuals past, and i see where they have ended up. For we can not change our past, but if we learn from it we then grow as individuals.
And when i notice a true individual, someone who captures my eye. I try my hardest to pay attention, i try my hardest to understand, and most importantly i always care.
Even now as i write this, i can not fully explain why i act as i do, but i do know it is me, and it is how i chose to be. I chose to care, i chose to love, i chose to understand, and most importantly i chose to live for the future and not in our pasts.
