I know the pic of the pup with the stache has been around a while, but here’s one with the puppy growing into that mustache - too cute. 
That mustache reminds me of Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York.

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.

Analogy of Lettuce, Friends & Family ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce.

Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument.

That is my experience.

No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.

If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
