Twofold

There are always two faces of a coin. Always two sides of the story. And you always have to remember to flip the coin over. To listen to the other side.

But being the emotional creatures that we are, it is so easy to forget and overlook. So easy to carelessly write off the feelings of the other person. And it is sad to think that it is the ones we love that we hurt the most.

Time and again, we try. We forget and vow not to repeat the same mistakes. Yet we keep on slipping along the way.

I guess the key is to never stop trying. To keep on learning.
And hoping that we will one day acquire the patience.
The humility. And the grace.

Amen.
