Finding Compassion: Manoj Dias on Self-Kindness and Sobriety
“So I think it's just evident if we can take a step back from being so individualistic and being so connected to acquiring more and more and more, and just see that we are interdependent with so many different factors in our life, and not just other humans, but the nature, the earth, the food that we eat, the air that we breathe, there's so much that we rely on, and I don't think we can survive as this hyper-independent species that I think we've been championing over the course of the last 50 years.”
