Aaron said, “We should interview someone about having an agreement for reciprocal empathy in a family?”
Sounds like it would be a good question to ask. It’s something that keeps coming up in our discussion. I’ve also been thinking of that a lot.
How might a family make an explicit and conscious decision to have an empathy based family relationship? I.e. a family culture of empathy?
What are the blocks to doing that?
We know that we will go off course sometimes but that we will strive to come back on that empathic course. Then it also gives a foundation for doing practices that will strengthen and deepen that connection..
