What Can I Do When Triggered by Others’ Suffering?

How can I live from love and understanding without imposing teachings on others, especially when triggered by people’s suffering or attempts to impose their ideas on me? Rupert says: ‘Your desire to help someone that is suffering is not an egoic response. It’s not an old, egoic, emotional reaction that arises because you’ve been triggered by them. On the contrary, it’s because you are relatively, you are free to a large extent of your own personal feelings, that you are able to feel another person’s suffering as your own . . . You would tailor your understanding and your feeling of love to the person in question. And you would do something that would really help them . . . You just do what you can in the moment in the situation, whatever is appropriate.’
