Someone close to you - such as a family member - has a very different set
of values. You may not agree on much, and you might wind up in arguments
or conflict a lot of the time. However, there could be something
significant that you can learn from this person if you allow yourself to
"study" a current argument. By trying to see this person's point of view
from their perspective - as though you were living it - it will give you
insight into their character, and it might make this person more endearing.
Since this is someone you can't avoid, it would be better to seek harmony.
Understanding is the foundation of compassion.
某個跟你親近的人—例如家人—有著與你大相徑庭的價值觀。你也許不是很認同，而
你們可能老是陷入爭論或衝突之中。然而，如果你允許自己「研究」一下最近發生的
爭執，那你或許可以從這個人身上學到某些意義重大的事情。藉由試著理解這個人的
觀點，從他的角度出發—就好像你身歷其境一樣—那麼這將會賦予你深入理解他的人
格特質的洞察力，而這也許會讓這個人變得更討人喜歡。因為這是一個你沒辦法完全
避開的人，所以尋求和諧共處才是比較好的做法。理解是同情心的基石。
