It’s okay to experience the flow of all emotions; however, if we get caught up in feeling pity for others and take on the responsibility of being their ‘savior’, we often take away their power to ‘save’ themselves. If I see someone as ‘messed up’ then I am projecting my ‘messed up’ vibration onto them, so I am unable to hold space. Yet, if I already view them as whole, well, and beautiful — then I am able to be a vibrational key (vessel of Spirit) that uplifts their energy so that it may come into alignment with being whole, well, and beautiful. It’s not that I do any of the healing; I’m simply a mirror reflecting acceptance and loving them for exactly who they are, right where they are. That is all that is ever truly asked of us, to accept and to love. Alaric Hutchinson
About This Quote

When we feel compassion for people, we want to help them as much as possible. On the other hand, when we see someone who is struggling with something in their life, we might think that they need our help. We may even want to try to save them from their troubles by giving them advice or fixing the problem ourselves. However, this action may cause more harm than good.

According to the Dalai Lama, instead of helping people in their time of need, it is better for us to be a mirror that reflects what they need in order for them to be able to solve the situation on their own. When we help people without truly understanding their state of mind and how they are feeling, we often cause more harm than good because we are not able to see them clearly and understand exactly what they need.
