Compassion Over Cynicism

Our invisible beliefs shape how we treat others — especially whether we see people as inherently good or self-serving.

I choose not to let history define a person’s future, opting instead for compassion. I see people through the lens of their potential, not just their past.

Sure, this outlook has burned me, but the reward of witnessing positive change outweighs the risks. Believing in someone’s potential brings peace of mind and makes the world a slightly better place.
