Divine Conversations: Projections

This post is part of a creative writing project, which has been divinely inspired by my recent studies in Chinese and Japanese philosophy.

 

Teacher says, When you have (feel) guilt, you do not trust. Trust is about accepting others. What I think about others, I think about myself.

 

Student replies, Oh, yes I understand deeply.

 

Thoughts for reflection: Next time you think ill of others, take a deep breath and ponder what reflection of yourself do you see in this moment? What is shining back at you? What needs to be addressed internally?
