This was heavy, and yet vital, reading.

I firmly believe that working to improve our understanding of ourselves and our understanding of others makes for a better world because that understanding introduces us to and allows us to deepen our kindness and compassion.  The insight detailed in this story has done just that.

I'm grateful for this experience.
