Empathy by Marshall

«If I use empathy to liberate people to being less depressed,
— Marshall Rosenberg
to help them get along better with their family, and at the same time not inspire them to use their energy to rapidly transform systems in the world, then I am part of the problem.
I am essentially calming people down, making them happier to live in the systems as they are,
Then I am using empathy as a narcotic.»
