When I was younger I used to think cold, suspicious, and unfavorably disposed people were that way because there was something wrong with me. Today I understand that the self is by nature abundant with love, joy and kindness. Therefore, spiteful, distant, contemptuous and condescending dispositions simply communicate that there is a scared and hurting "child" locked within the person. What we meet is the thick walls of defense such adults have built around their hearts to fence against hurt and pain. But there is hope, because "of the nonexistent there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change." Love will prevail!
