Until we are able to skilfully meet the darkness that others wield towards us while simultaneously touching genuine compassion for their soul which invariably feels the sting of remorse for the pain that they are causing; no matter if they themselves recognise this consciously or not, our humanity has not yet fully flourished.

It is not enough to have understanding of their pain and why they hurt others, using it to justify their indiscretions, allowing and forgiving their actions, because ‘they couldn't help it’, for that is human naivety.

Neither is it enough to meet their darkness with boundaries, through the severing of 'toxic' connections, by turning on our heal and promptly walking away, for that forgets their aching heart, beseeching us for patience, for understanding, for connection.

It is possible, and truly probable, and I might add most loving, yet only if we are willing; to forgive them for not having the courage to face their darkness and out of cowardice project it violently while hearing their soul quietly atoning, in perpetual penance and remorse, and at the same time honouring ourselves and standing firm towards their blind lashings, unforgivingly.

It is this place, where we have not swung into one direction or the other, that holds the deepest state of love for other and for self.

To feel compassion for another's soul trapped in the purgatory of perpetual remorse for deeds they have not yet worked out how to quit doing is an act of love, truly like no other.
