Can you rejoice in others' good works and deeds? Are you able to put your "I am this /you are that" mentality aside and see your enemy's goodness? Can you learn from those with viewpoints that differ from your own, sometimes radically? Can you appreciate each moment fully in the present, the only place you can actually live your precious human life? Can you swallow your pride and offer a kind word to someone you've made a rough start with? Can you rejoice in the goodness of your true nature that is obscured only by your ego-clinging? Can you?
Me neither.
But I find it's well worth working on.
