It's a very interesting idea and as a Buddhist, I absolutely commend you for trying to help people learn compassion. I'm curious to know if compassion can actually be built through a digital relationship.
Personally, I feel that words typed out on the computer carry less compassion than words through our mouths. But does this mean that this app is about building more compassion for yourself, helping others, i.e. in the mindset of Kiva? Or is it more about developing better relationships with those around you?
Unfortunately, I tried connecting with Facebook and nothing happened.
- nagnatron 14y agoI think it should be possible to practice empathy even if you don't have a person physically near.
- mattront 14y agoThe idea of the app is not to communicate with people directly, but to see them from a different perspective - as human beings, equal to ourselves, deserving our affection and respect. The app is based on Buddhist approach to developing love and compassion. Would love to debug the Facebook connect issue. Feel free to contact me on matjaz [at] humane-tehnologije.si
