We can sometimes live by platitudes that we hope to be true but aren't, such as we can have deep compassion for others while not having compassion for ourselves.

Compassion is a recognition of our common humanity and that each of our stories is made of strength and struggle. And I depth of compassion and honor of our own stories of strength and struggle are the very elements that connect us with others.
