The wisdom of acceptance

[Reciprocality]

Just like all your potential lies inside your limitations, so does the potential of a good conversation lie in the acceptance of also others limitations. We may react in annoyance towards others in their skewed or limited understanding by cringing, but it is always our limits which shines trough to that end. 

Those signals of annoyance, cringe or irritation are thus reminders that you can be far more then you think you can.

Wisdom must not be too different then to an ability to cringe at ourself, so to desert all cringeness in the end.

[Spence94]

Try your best in any given moment. That's all you can do.

Try your best. Cringe. Repeat. = A Buddha.
