Hello Fedi friends 👋 1of2
Notice I don't post about war or politics here. The reason: I sincerely believe what we really need is more kindness and understanding. I'm also a promoter of peace and NVC (non-violent communication).
It's like Thurgood Marshall, a really smart Supreme Court Justice, once said:
"The measure of a country's greatness is its ability to retain compassion in time of crisis."
I think that's true for people, too. When things get tough, it's easy to get angry or scared. But that's when it's most important to be kind.
Here's why I usually focus on compassion and kindness:
Kindness helps: It can make a tough situation a little bit better.
Kindness connects: It brings people together, even when they disagree.
Kindness is powerful: It can change hearts and minds.
