Can you truly see yourself in the other, in their ignorance (de-faulty programming)? By all means still try but don’t assume.

You can, by default, know that there is faulty programming in the world. You can paint everyone, including yourself, with faulty programming at least a few instances in your life and a few yet to unfold. This may allow for your focus to readjust to compassion lenses and the fundamental understanding. To realize the human condition of which you are a participant.

Compassion does not condone and lead to passivity. It instead allows you to respond from a better stance to address faulty, corrupted programming (towards yourself or others). It is from a place of compassion that others, including yourself, might be willing to receive the needed support to fill in the gaps of their programming.
