It's not easy to really 'see' others. How can we really see others if we don't feel seen, or heard ourselves?
In Buddhism the main teachings are The 4 Nobel Truths. The first truth is that we all suffer. This is not to make everyone depressed but rather to unite us, that we can relate & empathise with others sufferings as we ourselves have suffered.
Instead of difference - seek unity. Why? It's the only way to save this world. The only way to save ourselves.
People may think that compassion is weak, that I'll just love everyone & live in denial - but it not denial. It's strength. How much courage do you need to look you enemy in the eye & notice yourself? How much strength & conviction does it take to find peace, to not always get what you want but to work on what you can both agree on….Compassion is the only way to peace. 'In true dialogue both sides are willing to change' from our beloved Thich That Hanh 🩷
