Real change is only possible through knowledge and compassion.
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…

Couples usually argue about money, and not seeing eye to eye on future plans. But in my experience, the thing that really creates lasting resentment is when there’s no give-and-take around chores.
