        Empathy is one of the strongest emotions in my opinion. It’s also an emotion that requires extreme awareness I feel to be able to sympathize with someone despite your disagreeing or disputed their wrong doing. You should send the letters when your ready. There is power in doingso

        Do it! Write! Empathy is so beautiful and strengthening! Anger, on the other hand, is so contagious. Don't let yourself be convinced. Empathy is always the higher path. I'm so glad you're alive.

        There was a man here in Utah who lost almost all his family to a drunk driver; his wife and all his children except his 2 sons. He reached out in forgiveness to the young man who killed his family. Because of that, healing was able to take place for everyone.

        Forgiveness: My Burden Was Made Light https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2010-07-14-forgiveness-my-burden-was-made-light?lang=eng … I don't think that forgiveness and kindness is ever the wrong thing to do, if not for them but for yourself. Trust on the other hand is earned.

        Nothing is more powerful than forgiven someone Actually forgiven doesn’t mean u forget the gravity of the situation. Forgiven means you grow as a person and you are willing to move past behind you More importantly, nothing eats person more than having negativity on your chest

        I think what I love most about this blog is that, in a world of hot takes, it recognises the nuances & difficulties of the human experience, without judgement. Thank you for your work
