The Power of Compassion and Non-Harming
Compassion and non-harming are essential principles in promoting social justice and ending harm. It is important to see every human being as worthwhile, even if we may not agree or like them. Engaging in bullying or denigration only degrades our own character. Rather than responding with moral outrage, it is crucial to hold ourselves accountable and see beyond the personality of others, recognizing them as wounded beings. The goal is to re-humanize even those who cause harm and work towards justice without demeaning or disparaging others.
