When we are in contact with our feelings and needs, we humans no longer make good slaves and underlings.

We need empathy to give empathy.

What all the basic religions are saying is this: Don't do anything that isn't play.

Punishment is the root of violence on our planet.

My need is for safety, fun and to have distribution of resources, a sustainable life on the planet. NVC is a strategy that serves me to meet these needs.

Once you have access to key people in an organization, if you go into a meeting with enemy images of those people - then you are not going to connect.

There are the two main reasons we don't get our needs met. First, we don't know how to express our needs to begin with and second if we do, we forget to put a clear request after it, or we use vague words like appreciate, listen, recognize, know, be real, and stuff like that.
