Compassion Through Presence Over Hurry

Giving someone your full attention fosters a sense of love and connection, impacting them at a neurobiological level. Engaging deeply with narratives, like those in George Packer's 'The Unwinding,' cultivates compassion by revealing diverse human experiences without political bias. This process enables understanding and empathy, even towards differing views. However, the fast pace of life, characterized by hurry, undermines these connections, as it doesn't allow time for love and relationship-building. Hurry is identified as a form of violence that disrupts personal connections and interpersonal relationships.
