We read one section in "The Lord Thy God is One" chapter and we are now up to the "Personal Experiences" section.
The experiment for the week is:
In your daily contacts with others, imagine that they are part of your immediate family. If you feel apathetic or upset with someone, try to imagine how you might feel more caring or tolerant if that person were a close and beloved family member (e.g., a sister, brother, father, aunt, etc.) Then try to act on that new feeling. Record instances in which you try this experiment. Write the person's name (unless it is someone you don't know), the family member status you imagine for him, and how you acted on the feeling.
For example:
person: a stranger I was sitting next to on the bus
family status imagined: that she was my sister
action: I struck up a friendly conversation with her instead of just sitting there silently next to her.
