Don't get so caught up and fighting against that You forget what you're fighting for.
It is my tendency to very much fear becoming a critical person by personality, and overcompensate by not saying things sometimes even when it would be better if I did in the long run. It is so easy for me to understand people's feelings and why their limits are what they are right now, and maybe just not even resent them for not being farther along than they're at now because that's how I want people to treat me. But just because I don't want to shame them for not being past where they are, doesn't mean I might be passing up an opportunity to help them if I am too Extremely quiet about observations relating to their weaknesses.
Yes it's their responsibility to work on, but if I love them, I should do a balance that does my feelings and my truth and well-being, but also their feelings and their growth, Justice as best I can.
Don't get me wrong. I'm still very determined to be merciful and not swing in the opposite direction. But maybe I can start growing in my discernment in bravery of what really is a good time to speak, we're adjusting the way I say things to make the time more opportune, instead of risk overthrowing in a one-dimensional line of patience, without other aspects of empathetic and intuitive communication being left behind or relatively undertended to.
