Have compassion for poor behaviour

I have a family member suffering from an addiction. It's painful to witness, and their behaviour can be very hurtful at times. I am trying to remember it is their personality that is suffering the addiction, not their soul. Their soul is eternal, pure and loving.

Whenever we experience injustice or cruelty we need to remember: 'this is personality behaviour'. Ideally we will learn to feel compassion because the soul will have to face the consequences of their poor choices when they return home to heaven.
