May I consider all beings precious.
May I always respect others as superior while attaining self-esteem.
May I face my inner darkness and turn it to good.
May I be moved with compassion for the pain behind the spite others may show me.
When I am hurt by others, may I forego retaliation while always fighting injustice.
May I reckon those who betray me as sacred teachers.
May I offer joy to all beings and secretly take on their suffering. May all beings and I be free from ego concerns of loss and gain.
The above are thoughts I meditate upon, when encountering relationship considerations. I'll usually just pick one of the sentences that seems more pertinent.
After repeating the chosen thought for as long as I feel I need to... I grow silent, and focus on the "breath"...the answers seem to float among the mind chatter in the stillness.
