The goal is not to reach consensus on all your opinions or share all your values.
It's to understand each other's opinions and respect each other's values.

The power of #empathic #connection
A 30m intervention encouraging parole officers to create empathic relationships with people on parole decreased recidivism by 13%.
A powerful demonstration of what human connection can do even within a dehumanizing system (which must also be changed).
