Evidently you missed the part about grace and empathy? "But they started it" "They do it too" "They are meaner" 'They they they' is the problem.

Evidently you missed the part about grace and empathy?
"But they started it"
"They do it too"
"They are meaner"
'They they they' is the problem.
- vaidhy 4y agoGrace and empathy only go so long. You cannot be tolerant of the intolerant over and over again. There needs to be some amount of reciprocity.
- lapcat 4y ago> "But they started it" "They do it too" "They are meaner" You're using quotes, but I said none of those things. > 'They they they' is the problem. The problem is as vaidhy suggested. You said grace and empathy is much harder than condescension and schadenfreude, but it becomes even harder when grace and empathy are met in return with condescension and schadenfreude. If you're acting in good faith, how much can you stand to be humiliated? It takes two sides to come to the table. Trust must be built mutually. Otherwise it's like talking to a brick wall.
