That's the first requirement. So the first thing is do not reject people. Do not intentionally hurt people even when they're wrong. That will destroy any chances of you developing your compassion. We all make mistakes and we will always make mistakes until we become a Buddha. That's a sad truth about us. We have limitations. We have blind spots. We have stupid habits. We make mistakes. That's part of our learning process. People make mistakes. And guess what? We suffer. We all suffer because of it. We all suffering. So don't add more to people's suffering. That's the first requirement. Okay? So you see someone suffer, you make sure that you don't add to the suffering.
