   Empathy is not a zero sum game. Our hearts are big enough to encompass the suffering of the captives, the families in mourning & the innocents in Israel & Gaza. It’s not either-or. #israel #Gaza

     @rabbijill During the second Lebanon war in Israel I was confused because of the demand I felt for having compassion to the people who definitely want to kill me. I approached my Buddhist teacher and he told me that there are times when compassion is impossible and I should not torture myself for not being compassionate to my enemy.
