I can hurt (Feeling) being a witness to someone's tears (Observation). And while I'm intending to be comforting, telling someone, "not to be sad" or, "not to be angry" is for me to ask that person to be false to him/herself in that moment, possibly resulting in a longer period of grieving (Rescuing that can --> Persecuting). |

To say that, "I am trusting" (Feeling with Thinking) is an expression of one's own faith and leaves "room" for the other person to think and feel whatever he or she may be experiencing. |
