Hi Open,

I have seen this dynamic so much these days unfortunately. Which sadly perpetuates and worsens the terrible situation, as you have people being selective about who to show compassion to.

People only being compassionate to one side, arguing with others who are also being compassionate to the other side only.

This only perpetuates the problem. It is not genuine compassion. Or at best it's narrow minded. And at worse, it's hatred in disguise, among people. And among leaders, it's pure hypocricy, showing compassion to one side, not because they empathise with the inoccent of that side, but because of their selfish, greedy interests. It's pure disgusting, and in my eyes, even worse than the horrors we see. Because they purposefully want divison and the fighting to secure their interests. Peace is their enemy! Because they want to divide and conquer.

I think we need people and leaders who can empathise with the innocent on both ( ALL) sides. And choose peace. We are all interconnected. Someone else's problem is not ours until it is.

We as people have a choice to engage in this emotional sh*t storm, and perpetuate and worsen it by fighting, or we can choose peace.

Same for the leaders. They have a choice. They can choose peace. Or they can choose to escalate.

Let's meditate on peace! Let's choose peace!
