Perhaps everything terrible is in its being something that needs our love.”

This makes me think of a recent conflict I had with a family member who let loose some repressed feelings. He thought that I thought poorly of him and he let me know how poorly he thinks of me. I felt hurt, but mostly I felt surprised at his misconception of my view of him. I tried much harder to show how much I care about him and respect him, and he melted like butter. 🙂
