Each time we get upset & judgmental about others' or our own behaviour, we may benefit by remembering:
We're all the same in three basic ways:
(1) We all want to be well, happy, and free of suffering.
(2) We're all lost in self-centered reactions to our own narrow thoughts of self and others.
(3) We all possess an innate capacity of goodness that's been obscured by self-centered reactions.
