Understanding Others Through Love

We shall never understand others until we are friendly toward them. This is why we so often fail to see the good in people around us. We do not see them through the clear atmosphere of love, but through the clouded glass of distrust. In the memoir of Tennyson by his son we are told that the poet once said: “You must love Wordsworth before he will seem worthy of your love.” How many lives we misjudge because we do not have a sympathetic knowledge of them! It is hard to be misunderstood, but it is infinitely worse to misunderstand.—Selected.
