I met a woman once, so debilitated by disease that my impulse was to recoil. Then I remembered the words of one of my teachers: “There is something to love about everyone”, and I checked myself, and realized that this woman must have an incredibly strong will to live. I told her so, and noted that it pleased her.
Years later, I was struck down by the same illness, and I forgot the words of my teacher, and I recoiled at my condition, and berated myself. At least until I recounted this story, and realized that the woman was just a reflection of myself, and that my will is also strong, and this pleases me.
Practice finding something to love about everyone you meet. It may come in handy later.
