The most dangerous of all behaviors may consist of doing things 'because we're supposed to.' #NVC #NonviolentCommunication

Two questions were in me: - What happens to people to lead them to enjoy and want to contribute to other people's suffering? - What happens to human beings so that we stay with the process of compassion where we enjoy contributing to each other well being?

If we are skilled at nonviolent communication we can loan our nonviolent communication skills, we can loan our empathy skills by helping each side translate their criticism or judgments of the other into their needs, and then helping the other side to hear it.

We yell at students because our teachers yelled at us, and they yelled at us because their teachers yelled at them, and so on; the cultural inertia of habit makes the vicious cycle of violence difficult to break and transform. #sociocracy #sociocracyforall

Many of us carry around very destructive strategies for getting our basic needs met. Strategies that are destructive, first of all, because they're not possible, or secondly because they deny the needs of the other person, and require the other person be subservient to us.

Being “colorblind” is not the solution to racism. See people fully. Love people deeply.

Do we want to just heal the people hurt by these structures? Or do we want to radically transform the structures? #NVC #NonviolentCommunication

- We don’t have time for dialogue. These Circles take too long! - How long have you been in painful conflict? - Oh we’ve been like this - either full out war or refusing to talk to each other - for 3 years now Been hearing this said, without irony, for 25 years. & again today.

Audre Lorde, renowned poet, writer & activist, utilized her voice to advocate fearlessly for oppressed people, including women, people of color, and queer folx. Self-care can be a revolutionary act, esp when the structures of society don't value who we are. #BlackHistoryMonth
