When we look at the mechanics of the brain — specifically the Vagus nerve and our mirror neuron system — we see that we are physically designed to resonate with others.

The "Self" we try so hard to protect is permeable. In Quantum Physics, the boundaries between particles are uncertain at best.

To deny compassion is to deny our own anatomy. When we practice kindness, we align with the truth of our physical reality.
