Much suffering is caused by looking for something where it can not be found. It is sometimes difficult to admit to one's self that one is wrong. However, when we open ourselves up to this admission, we can begin to look in a new direction. If we are looking for compassion or understanding where it is not, we always have the option of turning to God. However, it is a process of undoing our socialization that states we must get the healing we need from other people. Other people are often just as or even more confused than we are, and yet we are tempted to make them the sources of our salvation. This often leads to trying to force someone to give us what they do not have, creating frustration and anxiety.
