"We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on." Sharon Salzberg
Not all but some of our world society maintains that suffering. Many of these conditions are in the hands of our world leaders. These needed changes reflect fundamental human rights to things like education, good food, and water, as well as a trauma-free childhood. In affluent countries, individuals often possess opportunities to improve these conditions independently. These individuals can pursue personal development and healing through self-help, recovery programs, therapy, and life coaching, to name a few. One Kind Word is a fundamental human right.
