When we can let go of the idea "I am right", the notion "the other is wrong" dissipates all by itself. All that remains then is that which is. We can always work with that which is. Our hurts result from what we wish were there and is not.

We often know how to show our love for those we care about when they are in need, are sick, are hurting, or dying. It takes a deeper love to acknowledge the meaning of another's presence in our life when everything seems to be in its right place. Don't wait for a tragedy. Take time to connect, to thank, to forgive, to praise, to momentarily surrender preoccupation with oneself and gratefully acknowledge the presence of another.
