When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen
It’s what kept our ancestors alive back in the day. If it feels right go for it. If you feel something pulling you back, listen to it. If it could keep our ancestors from getting eaten or freezing to death, it can help us know what to do.
You can find the good in anybody if you just give them a chance, the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people disappoint you, sometimes they surprise you, but you never really get to know them until you listen for what’s in their heart.
That’s what we should do.
So, for all you skeptics out there, prepare to be surprised.
That’s what we should do.
