I recently had this insight where I felt like instead of hating the other person for not showing compassion, it's important to see where the self comes from, to give space, to understand that those who lack compassion are still deserving of our compassion it's up to us to take the higher road, not let bitterness ruin the heart, not hold any bitterness to begin with, to learn to let go and have empathy for those who lack empathy because they couldn't have done better, it's not their fault, and sometimes people who don't show empathy might actually not really hold bad intent in their heart, although it might appear that way, forgive their selfishness, don't have expectations and understand that they exist in a different plane and that's okay too. They could be innocent too.
