Have you ever inadvertently hurt someone closest to you?I want to make amends, but I find that the damage has already been done
In the book "Spiritual Growth", the author mentions an interesting law—"The Law of Reflection."
To put it simply, we tend to be much friendlier to strangers than to people close to us. Why is this so?
Because our knowledge of strangers is limited, we will unconsciously glorify them and think that they are perfect. And to the people closest to us, we tend to have a lot of expectations and demands, and once the other person does not meet our expectations, we will feel disappointed and angry.
However, there are no perfect people in this world, and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We need to learn to look at others objectively and not to think of them as too perfect.
At the same time, we must also learn to cherish the people around us, and don't lose patience and love for them because of some small shortcomings.
The way to make up for the mistake is also simple: apologize. Apologizing is a very magical way to make both parties feel light-hearted and happy.
Learning to apply the "law of reflection" allows us to look at others more objectively, and at the same time, we can better appreciate the people around us.
I hope this tip can help you gain more beautiful relationships.
