I recognize that real change is only possible through knowledge and compassion.
Knowledge is important for compassion because it helps you better understand the experiences, struggles, and perspectives of others. Without knowledge, compassion can be shallow or misdirected, based on assumptions rather than reality.
When you’re informed about different cultures, histories, and social issues, your empathy becomes deeper and more meaningful.
Knowledge helps you recognize injustices and the root causes of suffering, allowing you to respond in ways that are thoughtful and effective, not just well-intentioned.
In short, knowledge gives compassion the clarity and direction it needs to create real impact.
