I have never met an asshole. Only kind, honest, thoughtful people who are doing the best they can with what they’re thinking and believing.
Of course, there have been times I THOUGHT I was meeting an asshole, but as I gain experience, I’m seeing that the only way I can experience an asshole is if I CREATE one with my opinion. … telling myself a story and casting someone in the role of “asshole.”
Which means…
Anytime I think someone’s an asshole, I’m the asshole.
(…and not even that.)
