NVC requires us to be continually conscious of the beauty within ourselves and other people.

Never hear what a jackal-speaking person thinks, especially what they think about you.

As NVC replaces our old patterns of defending, withdrawing or attacking in the face of judgment and criticism. We come to perceive ourselves and others, as well as our intentions and relationships, in a new light. Resistance, defensiveness, and violent reactions are minimized.

Anger can be a wonderful wake up call to help you understand what you need and what you value.

Use anger as a wake-up call to unmet needs.

We're not taught to think in terms of needs. We don't make nice dead people when we're in touch with needs. Domination structures cannot maintain themselves when citizens are educated to be alive.

Analyses of others are actually expressions of our own needs and values
