Empathy

“When someone opens up and shares how they are feeling,

Just listen,

And be there—

You don’t have to have an answer or response.”   Alfred Adler

Empathy is something that is lacking in society today.   And in spite of someone’s political affiliation, we should be able to talk to them about something we have in common—other than politics.  I believe with all my heart that we can agree to disagree.

I remember a Bible verse which says “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.   The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.”  Proverbs 15:1-2, New International Version.

“The values we live by are worth more when we pass them on.”   Passiton.com

I had been seeing these wonderful commercials on television and wondered who produced them.  They are produced by the Foundation for a Better Life.  

“Their goal is to offer inspirational messages to people everywhere as a contribution toward promoting universal values, good role models and a better life.”   They have ads and commercials on tv, radio, billboards, videos, and more.   Check out their website at passiton.com.

I have been inspired and uplifted each time I see their commercials.   I have also subscribed to their emails. Pass it on!
