Looking for clarity
Joe Brummer; I recorded a dialog about this blog post with Edwin
Rutsch from the Center for Building a Culture of Empathy and
Compassion. Will post link soon. Interesting article and I admit fully
I am not sure I get all the comments made about empathy being so
negative. I get the author wants more action, more involvement and yet
I don't understand how one can have compassion without empathy. I work
more from the science of empathy than linguistic definitions. This
author may be coming from the linguistic side, not sure....
