Is this a "real self" way of going about business? I think so, I rarely have some pinging doubt/guilt about something I said these days.
Here's what Rumis words here mean to me. A person who has suffered and inflicted pain can really appreciate and forgive someone who is being cruel and has done harmful things. I did mean things, why? I wanted to feel better. I had compassion for myself in every hostile act, every unkind deed to simply protect myself atleast. The insulter, the cruel, rash, cold, closed, uncaring person has intense love in them, they are the way they are because they care. " Be like the night to cover others' faults." Be like the night because you know why people would act "fake".
