DISARMING

“If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.”

Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow American Poet 1807-1882

REFLECTION:

  • Reflect on an “enemy.” 

  • Can you consider the sorrow and suffering they have faced (but may be covering up with pride and ego).  Does this change how you view them?  Does it disarm your hostility toward them?

  • Explore the possibility of seeing them from this perspective.
