My dear Vimal - I feel you, I know what it's like. Some of the most challenging situations on the path arise between family. On the one hand, there's a yearning to be compassionate and empathic, on the other, there's the compulsion to be oneself. I would say to you, never be afraid to be you, no matter the challenges that may create in another.... "Be true to yourself, and then thou canst not be false to any man". What's the most precious gift we can give another, the deepest love, if not the fullness of ourselves?

You may have seen this, but I felt to share it anyway...
