43. Everything Has Two Handles

A simple picture. Everything in life has two handles. One will let you carry it. The other will not.

Everything has two handles, one by which it can be carried, and one by which it cannot.

If your brother treats you unjustly, do not take hold of the action by the handle of his injustice, because that handle will not carry it.

Take hold of it by the opposite handle, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you.

This way, you will have hold of it in a way you can carry.

What this means. Every hard situation can be picked up in more than one way. Find the handle that lets you carry it without being crushed.
