    According to Henri Tajfel’s social identity theory, when we incorporate a group into our identity, we derive our sense of self-worth from being a member of that group. We therefore become heavily invested in seeing “us” positively and “them” negatively. It’s our investment in social identities that underlies group discrimination and racism. The reason I want to see your gender-ethnic-racial-political-national group as inferior is because it validates the preeminence of my own group, thereby giving me a sense of pride and righteous superiority.

    Whenever you notice you are in pain, you have three potential courses of action.
    • You can give yourself kindness and care.
    • You can remind yourself that encountering pain is part of the shared human experience.
    • You can hold your thoughts and emotions in mindful awareness.

    Our emotional suffering is caused by our desire for things to be other than they are.

    Suffering = Pain x Resistance

    Yes, I hurt. But I also feel care and concern. I am both the comforter and the one in need of comfort. There is more to me than the pain I am feeling right now, I am also the heartfelt response to that pain.
