Loving our Fellow as Ourself -- #2

#2:  In the midst of the command to love our fellow, Hashem gives us a piece of advice how to perform it: 

The language of the words is 'And you shall love your fellow as yourself'.  One of the ways to indeed love our fellow, treat them well, etc. is to try to see things from their perspective at times.  Before saying or doing something to them that could, Chas V'Shalom be offensive, think about how you would feel if someone did that to you.  

And the same goes for other things:  If they are, Chas V'Shalom, not so nice at times, don't just jump and dislike them.  There are always reasons behind things -- so try to think fom their perspective:  Perhaps there are things going on in their lives that aren't so pleasant, Rachmana Litzlan, and so they are bitter.  And there are many other possible things.  

In summation, we must try to sometimes see things from others' perspetive's -- and, B'Ezras Hashem, this will help us to fulfill many times a very important Mitzvah.

Kol Tuv everyone!
