there's this buddhist concept called maitri. It basically means to radiate compassion towards all conscious entities on the planet. as a practice, it means turning suffering into understanding and releasing anger. as we see how we react when in pain, it allows us to understand the closedness of others when they are in pain. maitri means being cool with others, even when they piss you off or do ill shit to you. or at least, that's my limited understanding. I'm not much of a buddhist, too much dogma, too much ritual. There's words for it in every religion. Yoda had it down.

I'm not as good at it. But better than I was ten years ago, that's for sure.
