Default Re: Encouraging humanness.

Is humanness a word? , im just kidding

Some physical wounds heal easy, whilst others require medical attention. The mind is no different.

Some people live very difficult lives, and the thing that holds them down is their inability to conceive anything outside of their own realities. Its what we would call being stuck in a rut.
It can be very difficult to haul ourselves out of these negative mental personality loops, and sometimes it can be very helpfull for someone to throw down a ladder to those who are scraping desperatly at the sides of the pot.
To do this you must first know how to construct your ladder, so that in helping that person you are also teaching them how to make their own ladder. So they wont fall back down again.

Being human isnt often easy, and some people experience this very differently from others.
And without the help of those who have been there done that it can often be very difficult for people to get a grip on themselves.

Encouraging humanness is all very good, but it is no where near as good as displaying hummannes and leading by example. Being human means having compassion, love and respect for others. And for some, simply telling them to be human is not enough, you must show them.


You knew id post here didnt you
