To be able and compel to explore another person's emotion/life, we have to be open to explore our own. Our society really need to evolve in a change direction. The fast life that we are in, so many obligations and all so easy distractions(phone, text, electronics), bring the emotional maturity on the back burner of priorities. As the book " Nature and the human soul" from Bill Plotkin pointed out , we are mostly in a pathological adolescent society. The hope is in movement like this to encourage looking inward and having a daily practice of being present.
Thank you!
