Be kind, for everyone you know is facing a great battle - Philo of Alexandria.

This really helps me to manage people. Everyone around me - me included is broken. We all face our battles. I face mine, so it requires no great stretch of the imagination to realise everyone else is facing theirs.

So when they're short, abrupt, absent, irritated, down, I don't take it personally, I just realise they are facing a great battle.

Helps me become compassionate to remember this and maybe compassion is one of the greatest weapons we have in this great battle.
