Compassion for Hypocrites

Joshua Fields Milburn: Instead of pointing fingers, let's find compassion for the people who disagree with us. "We are all hypocrites and we are all suffering on some level," he says. We needn't feel they're suffering, that's empathy, nor must we remove their grief or provide countless solutions; just bear witness. If we can do this, if we can temper our interactions with compassion, then we have a chance to ease our collective suffering.
