I believe that our highest duty is to life and the greatest threat to life is violence and aggression in thought and action. But ingrained patterns of behavior and learned responses must be proactively addressed in order to learn an effective, non-threatening way of communicating. Having stated this, I also believe the fears and insecurities that are often in the deepest recesses of our hearts can lead us to accept unacceptable situations and make destructive compromises with ourselves and others. Therefore to have learned that a site such as this exists where one can learn the art of Compassionate Communication is a true blessing to me. I'm looking forward to learning more.
