“If empathy is truly to take its place as a central value in contemporary culture,” says author Roman Krznaric, “we need to put it to the test in the most difficult situations…We must extend our empathetic imaginations not just to the dispossesed or disadvantaged, but also to those whose views and actions we might oppose or disdain…That is how empathy can become both a moral guide and a basis for a philosophy of living.” Roman Krznaric challenged the limits of his own empathy by visiting and opening his heart to people who he felt were responsible for immense injustices and the suffering of entire communities.

Be The Change
