We have to think whether our understanding of the situation is proper or not whenever there is some effect on our mind from the thoughts, behavior and speech of someone in social relationships. If we find that there is ignorance regarding the situation and feel the pain from the situation, it is sheer narrow-mindedness and miserable situation on our part. When we see and experience such reaction and attitude of the mind we must reject such attitude. We have no reason to get upset if we see such ignorance and lack of real understanding in others. Just as our ignorance is not removed immediately, their ignorance can not be removed immediately also. At such times we need to show compassion with love and humility to others. If we act in such manner there will be much less possibility of developing any irritation, weariness, harassment, jealousy, hatred and disgust in our mind regarding behavior of others.
Moreover it is not proper to understand that others are ignorant and so are inferior. Things do no stay the same for ever. There is a distinct possibility for the inferior person to be superior and vice a versa. So it is proper and best not to judge others in any regards.
