The road to change is paved with compassion. [...] Compassion begins when we tell our stories. When we all speak, we realize it's universal. We all have felt alone, scared, fearful, full of rage, hope, agony, and despair; and if I start speaking, maybe you'll start speaking, and then we'll all be sharing our stories. And then you notice we're all singing the same song, the song of the story of life on earth.
