The whole world would be a better place if everybody actually listened closely to what starts with the family at home and then practice this princlpal in there day to day affairs. Myself I try to listen and consider what another person is feeling and trying to express when they are talking to me or a crowd meaning that maybe 90% of society is manic to a small degree. I find that a lot of people interrupt or ignore people that are trying to explain something important to a situation. possibly if they listened closely and tried to relay a compassionate fact back to someone talking to them they themselves may benefit us well. Other than that if you are total frustrated with yourself don't stop seeing your shrink after all they need to make a living too.
