When we feel for each other, we fight for each other.
I had the pleasure of a conversation with a new friend last week. She talked to me about her work, and she expressed frustration that she couldn’t seem to get through to her colleagues about the importance of inclusion and justice. We talked strategy for a while, and one of the things we came up with is something I want to share with you.
We live in a culture that actively discourages us from building empathy for anyone outside our immediate circles. Contempt is currency. Bullying is everywhere, and often rewarded. It’s no wonder we’re in what the US Surgeon General has called a loneliness epidemic.
