When we perceive any situation, whether it's an activity, a sport, a fight, or anything else, it's important to be able to observe without getting emotionally involved. When you see someone in great pain, your emotions may want to jump in so you can both have a good cry together - someone who cries with them might help a little, but very little. You can be of greater help if you are strong enough to lift that person's spirits up and not allow your emotions to get in the way. It's called empathy - you put your mind in that person's situation, but only your mind, while you stand in a safe place and try to bring that person to the same point of safety you are at.

"It's one thing to live a long time - it's another thing to learn something in that space of time. You've been given the gift of life - don't just become an old man, learn something."

My people say never point a finger of scorn or judgment at your fellow man because when you point, there're three fingers pointing back at you.
