Visit night court (or afternoon court) today.  While there, pay attention to the emotions that permeate the room.  Be consciously grateful that you have not been compelled to attend … After settling in for a few minutes, silently extend the prosecuting attorney as much Compassion as possible (remembering that theirs is one of the more morally challenging jobs out there) … Extend the same Compassion to the judge as well.  And while it will be tempting to send the “accused” pity or sympathy, refuse to do so.  Send them Compassion, yes, and yet do not make their plight worse by enabling them to feeling sorry for themselves … Recognize their Strength instead.

Bonus Activity:  Anonymously bail out a stranger today.
