Nobody owes empathy to anybody else That said, when we Try to challenge ourselves a little bit more Try to be curious about somebody even if it's not our first instinct We can be astonished by what comes of that. Underneath this divide right we canbe astonished by all we have in commonWe can be astonishedby the opportunities that we find.
