What is compassion and how could it change our world as we know it? Joan Halifax works in health care clinics in impoverished countries all over the world. she has worked with people on death row, both in health clinics and in high security prisons. Here is her story...
I can't even begin to imagine how incredibly moving and life changing it must be to work in environments like those that Halifax described. What would happen if we all treated each other with that same compassion described in the health clinic in India? How different would our world be if we did elect our government officials based off of how compassionate they are? I believe that together we could make the world a better place. We would become less judgemental as we open up our hearts and lend a helping hand to the needy. We would find comfort in a society of community. Our hatred towards each other could go away all together. With compassion, we could change the word as we know it!
