I like your term forebearance. I agree with the spirit of it. I just think it can be cultivated amidst all of our interactions....including dreaming. The key is in cultivating quality of awareness....respect....affection....across the board. For some of us more indulgent types....or more arrogant....this might take a long, long time. There is no other way. Just gotta keep getting up and throwing ourselves into the thick of it, renewing our intent again and again.
