→Problems, Sympathy
When you [[listen]] to your [[family]] or group member, seek not to play into [[false]] [[feelings]] of [[fear]]. You may love them so much, wanting to spare them from the [[pains]] of [[truth]]. I say, it would be far worse to agree and let them continue in their [[cycle]] of an imagined problem.

As you can remember, [[the Master]] sympathizes not with those who would lie down before their troubles. The Master taught with [[questions]]. Questions to your troubled [[friend]] or [[family]] may reveal to them a lighter side, perhaps a solution that may lie within their own [[being]].

This week in your dealings with [[family]]/[[friends]] think about not over-sympathizing, but let them know of your [[love]] for them. You can [[support]] them in their [[feelings]], give them your [[understanding]], perhaps you have been there, but try not to validate feelings of [[fear]]. [[Tactfulness]] with [[honesty]] is also beneficial to this friend or family member.
