lately I've been trying to think of what it would mean to have compassion for people I see doing minorly antisocial behavior like littering or driving like a dickhead. Not necessarily because I think that these people should have compassion, but because I think throwing shade on strangers so much is bad for me.

something like "I bet if things were going better in that person's life, they wouldn't be acting out like this. I hope things go better for them."

at this point I'm not sure I could do that in the moment without injecting a little sanctimony or condescension, which isn't compassion. but I'd like to get there eventually.
