We are designed for Giving

To practice the process of conflict resolution, we must completely abandon the goal of getting people to do what we want.

What bores the listener bores the speaker too.

Interpretations, criticisms, diagnoses, and judgments of others are actually alienated expressions of our unmet needs.

Compliments and praise, for their part, are tragic expressions of fulfilled needs

Intellectual understanding blocks empathy.

As radical as it may seem, it is possible to do things only out of play. I believe that to the degree that we engage moment by moment in the playfulness of enriching life- motivated solely by the desire for its enrichment- to that degree are we being compassionate with ourselves.
