Dr. Mona raised awareness and let the people of Flint know what the problem was going on with their water. She exposed the crisis that was happening in the city that officials ignored which led to the people getting sick.
Some people that lived near me didn’t know that there was quick sand at the levee we went to so I told them. I got stuck in it once so I didn’t want them to accidentally go through that like I did.
I think showing a bit more compassion for people that you tend to overlook as irrelevant will guide you on a path of general positivity. Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and actually taking a step in their lives will lead to more sympathy and less violence towards one another. Listening to other people’s stories and experiences is also a way of caring and providing them with a safe space.
