We Cannot Learn...

 

Marc Chagall

We cannot learn to forgive one another 

until we learn to forgive ourselves.  

It is common for us to react negatively 

when we witness the behavior of someone 

whose chief feature is the same as ours.  

We are repelled by their mechanicality 

because it reflects the degree 

to which we ourselves lack control.  

The more we acknowledge how helpless we are, 

the greater compassion we will feel towards others.
