When I feel this way I do tonglen meditation.

I have suffered deeply in my life, but so has most of humanity and most of creation. Connecting with that through compassion helps me see both myself and the world with more tenderness.

You are not broken anymore than anyone else in the world suffering from any of a thousand maladies is. You are whole, just as they are.

I was very skeptical when i began tonglen, but the more I do it the more connected to so of humanity i feel, and the less uniquely bad and alone I feel. It's an easy sort of meditation as there is active visualization
Thanks for this!
