February Newsletter: Empathy, an Under-used Value
In the February Newsletter, Sister Diana uses the following quote to illustrate how taking a look at life from a different perspective, possibly even “stepping into another person’s shoes,” can help us develop empathy:
“Many astronauts have reported that once they glimpsed Earth from space—
a small blue ball floating in the vast expanse, lacking our human-made borders—
they never looked at their personal or national interests in quite the same way.
They saw the oneness of life.”
