“When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.”

I can personally attest to this. I am grateful to people like you and Judith and a few very perceptive friends who could see my suffering and helped me become someone who tries to ease suffering, rather than release more of it into the world! I love this quote, we've got to keep it in mind all the time!
