When any person has suffered a lot:
They become understanding... All the small mistakes are nothing, there is so much worse that can happen to a person than a small mistake...
They don't care for appearances nor possessions because they remember how no possession, no matter how valuable it was stopped them from suffering.
They remember how keeping appearances didn't heal them. It only hid the suffering from others, and later when they could no longer hold appearances, they remained the same and lived on, not losing much - except for so called friends, that because they disappeared they were not what we needed nor were we what they needed. A kind of shedding off old skin.
They are not annoyed by a lack of intelligence nor impressed by intelligence because for all their intelligence they could not stop suffering and it was not their intelligence that got them through it was the grit, the humanity and the love of the human spirit. People with a sharp intellect don’t always have this... They are often easily annoyed when not understood...
They are relaxed in the face of life as they know how to suffer and if life reserves new suffering they know how to take advantage of it and what it is for...
They look for the interior, for things that have heart, very little the exterior. No pretty face or body helps one to overcome suffering. In fact, maintiang a pretty face and good body is for the fickle a cause of suffering in itself.
They become so easy to deal with as they don't to make people's lives more difficult. Because of having suffered it is a real joy to act so as to prevent others from suffering.
They care for the suffering of others, not to increase it and to help others to liberate themselves from theirs.
They are no longer a perfectionist nor a control freak.
They give others freedom as they are robust and can deal with what life throws them...
Such a person is mature it is said in Gnostic circles. And is ready to take off towards the path into the arms of their Intimate Spirit.
End (4757).
