And conversely, what empowers some to stay connected to our compassionate nature even under the worst circumstances?
While studying the factors that affect our ability to stay compassionate, I was struck by the crucial role that language can play. While we may not consider the way we talk to be ‘violent,’ words often lead to hurt and pain toward ourselves or to others.”
