The power of love and compassion (Street art in Tel Aviv)
The power of love and compassion
Love and compassion, essential to us all, form the foundation of our shared humanity. We cradle love and empathy to embody humankind. Though meeting others at eye level forges bonds, the filtered myriad prejudices that nibble at everyone often negatively cloud the interactions and quickly distort reality.
It's easy to become imbalanced and wounded and to let bitterness take hold. Yet, in a place where hate tries to seep in, the vibrant dance of life consistently pauses, surrendering its cheerful twirls to a sad stillness in spaces where hatred seeks to pervade. As bitterness spreads widely, it stifles joy and leaves an empty, hostile landscape behind.
When we lose empathy, we lose part of what makes us human.
Although this hostility can leave deep hurt, it is nothing other than love and compassion providing us with the comfort and support we need to heal in moments of pain. It can bring light to the darkest moments and hope for brighter days. As human beings, we all, ultimately, just want to be loved, and to feel like we matter.
