Quoting lostlove: just makes me feel like a sap!! people can just walk all over me...treat me like an insignificant little bug...be selfish...and ya know what...pathetic ole LL will still find some copassion within her for you.
I guess I just see it differently -- to me, compassion is a sign of strength not weakness. I struggle with myself the most when I am mired in anger, lack of forgiveness, etc. 'course a wise friend of mine says that my being hard on myself for still feeling those negative feelings (instead of empathy and compassion) is actually a lack of compassion for myself.
Great post Sage. That was something I needed today.
I know how you feel LL. I feel like I am here to pick up the pieces that OW leaves behind. And I am just a sap too.
