【Oneness of self and others: Beyond "Right" and "Wrong"】
Even if someone’s words or actions are completely different from yours—
even if their opinion is the polar opposite of your own—
You do not have to "agree."
You don’t need to force yourself to say "I agree,"
nor do you have to bend your own values to feel satisfied.
Simply look at their words, their behavior,
and the very "existence" of that person.
Without trying to change them,
simply allow them to be as they are,
with the thought: "This is how you are."
Rest your hands from trying to "fix" them (Stop fixing people),
and embrace what is, exactly as it is.
This graceful state of mind—living without judgment—is,
I feel, the true essence of Oneness of self and others.
