This is something I personally struggle with: balancing compassion with accountability and responsibility. I have honestly been more conscious than everyone else my whole life, so I cannot even claim to know the steps to becoming a more discerning and decent human being. I can say that humans are in a unique position to destroy ourselves, other beings, and this beautiful blue planet we live on. We are seriously traumatized and mentally ill and we are stomping around the planet like an out of control King Kong crushing everything in our wake. Yes, we are all born innocent, but at some point you have to take personal responsibility for waking up out of your zombified stupor and becoming conscious. Everyone has trauma, but at some point, you must choose to turn it into your greatest medicine and teacher or succumb to it and destroy yourself (and possibly intimate others).
