I find your use of language powerful and exquisitely nuanced David, so please don’t change anything on my behalf 😉

I’m exploring Buddhist concepts and getting a lot from them. I now hear “compassion” as connection - love, ultimately - for all people WHILE ALSO accepting that they are suffering from delusions. However that’s perhaps a stretch from the everyday “social justice warrior” mindset.

Thank you and Janice for a wonderful, gracious and creative conversation. I came away with st least time hope for a brighter future for humanity. I will reread it many times, and I look forward to your book David.

Thank you very much, David. I often struggle to find the right word, but I think that the struggle is worth it, it is an expression of how much I care about finding the right word.
