A king of old had planned to cover his whole kingdom with carpets in order not to hurt his bare feet. A wise adviser suggested that he covered "his" feet instead. Good advice. You should take it into account when you endeavor to change someone else's behavior. You firmly believe that your partner should be more considerate, your coworker should be more co-operative, your friend more understanding, your superiors more lenient... Not many people know how to accept others as they are. Your problems could be less hard to deal with, if you stopped insisting on blaming someone else. Your fellow human beings are who and what they are, exactly as yourself. When you choose to allow them to be just that, a new understanding, even empathy might blossom in your heart.
