text

  1. (lines 25 - 29) those who have been hurt, hurt others. understanding this does not immediately solve the problem if someone is being nasty to you, but it can help a little. it can help you to remember that you don’t deserve to be treated badly. it’s not something you’ve done. there isn’t anything wrong with you.
  2. (lines 49 - 50) realizing why you might not be very nice to other people can help you see how someone else could be not very nice to you.
  3. (lines 51 - 54) understanding doesn’t make everything suddenly perfect. if someone is being mean to you, the problem will not go away just because you understand that they may be unhappy inside. but when you understand things, they often stop being so frightening.

  2. For the second text, it can be paraphrased as: Realizing why you might be unkind can help you understand why others are unkind to you.
