Yes these difficult moments come to make us understand the limitations and imperfections. Taken rightly they can become launching pads for a higher journey. But if one gets involved in the situation then it can spiral down into a whirlpool of frustration. The problem is we cannot change anyone against their will. Besides it is sometimes a genuine difficulty wherein the person standing at quite a different level cannot be other than what he or she is. It is like trying to teach higher mathematics to a child. This brings compassion even when inwardly we are getting detached. We then leave others to be what they are while focus all our energies towards the goal that appears before us.
Affectionately,
