Beyond Right and Wrong

A good partner is someone who truly empathizes with you.

How important is empathy?

When you are sad or have made a mistake, their first thought isn’t to correct you, but to comfort you—prioritizing your emotions. Reasoning comes later. More than being right or wrong, they care about your well-being.

Only someone who truly wants to be with you will offer boundless patience and gentleness to help you solve problems. Being with such a person truly makes life easier; even difficulties seem less daunting.

I once read a quote: To judge whether someone is truly good to you, don’t look at your successes, but how they treat you in your darkest moments. Many may say they like you, but few are willing to take the time to truly empathize with what you are feeling.

"Because someone is kind to you, you become kind in return."

If someone has seen you at your worst and is still willing to stay and build a life with you—that is what happiness looks like.
