Compassion is not exemplified by smiling to my face
and trash-talking behind my back.
Understanding is not expressed by saying "It's okay" but
harboring resentments because it really wasn't.
Progress is not made by shoving down emotions and
keeping silent over hurts.
Interest in others is not apparent in obsessing
and substituting addictions.
Acceptance is not shown by giving up on others when
they don't heal on our time table.
I thought these were your lessons to be learned.
Perhaps they were mine.
