What compassion asks of us

Discover

Recall a moment when someone noticed you were struggling before you said anything. What did that mean to you?

Understand

Compassion begins with noticing. It means seeing that behind an opinion, a mistake or a sharp reaction there is often a person carrying something we cannot see.

Compassion does not require agreement or excusing harm. It gives us a reason to care, which is what moves understanding into action.

The thread of responsibility

We are responsible for how our words and actions land on others.

Compassion strengthens Understanding Others, Dialogue & Listening and Finding Common Ground.
