That John C. Reilly clip felt too clean
I've been seeing this interview with John C Reilly going viral and was touched by it myself. Fuck yea, empathy matters so much! Let's love and care for our fellow man.... This is a beautiful share, thank you. I find your writing so personal and relatable at the same time. I have to try really hard to write like this; if i don’t it just comes out super theoretical. I’m afraid it comes across as arrogant as well, like I know better.... - Minnie...
Yes, you are right. If each of us helps out others just a little bit, it makes the world a bit more tolerable. If a person who is helped, helps another, those ripples of kindness spread out to create a bit more positive... - onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byMinnie...

We should be more receptive to other’s opinions, problems and culture. Be more open minded. Participate in discussions with other people to hear their outlooks and social norms. Educate yourself by reading about different culture’s and beliefs.... - [deleted]...
Most of my life, I've tried to turn enemies into friends. The process has been different at times because we do things differently as we grow and learn new things.... good to meet you and welcome here. What's the most surprising perspective you have given your position? I'm at 5 years married with a 4 year old son and 3 yr old daughter, so my position is much earlier, but I also thinking kindness and empathy matter, and given that, not a huge... - BriGuy...
What's going on?
I have, from years of being a social worker, a belief in two things that are lacking in today's world: empathy and gratitude. Empathy is more than the ability to feel sympathy for someone in a difficult situation.... - onHow is it we can celebrate anything while human beings are still dying from drugs and homelessness? by
bearing witness to the sheer amount of suffering all around us is heart breaking. And now that we're a globalized village, we can not only see but actually empathize with it in a way we never could in the past.... - Farfromfixed...
My name is Amber, I don't know what to say really I have a hard time declaring that I am this or that or what my likes or dislikes are to me everything is kinda situational....
