In yesterday’s post I puzzled over the prerequisites for our level of agreement. On reflection, I think it needs a full belief in the golden rule, “Treat others as you wish to be treated”, which describes an equivalence between me and you, that we are both equally important.
To act based on this, you have to put yourself in their place for a moment. A more succinct term for this is empathy, a skill that develops over the years (though it may stall or fall back in some). Furthermore, it seems likely to me that to increase in empathy is to approach nearer to God, spirit, union or whatever term works for you.
