"[An] aspect where we need to use loving-kindness is learning to relate to our
shortcomings, our weaknesses. When we make a mistake, how do we relate to that
using loving-kindness? Because we are all human - and it is very nice that we
are all human - but as we are human, we are bound to make mistakes. And when we
make mistakes, how can we use loving-kindness is such a situation? What do we
do when we make a mistake? Immediately give a big minus?

"So hereafter, when you make a mistake, please don't give yourself a minus, and
without giving yourself a minus, you can start to reflect. This reflection is a
very, very important aspect of meditation."

~ Godwin Samararatne, "Meditation for Everyday Life: Day 2: Loving-kindness"
