Don't then either we continue to commit offences against.Or do we allow them to commit offences against us? And if I don't say to someone else you've hurt me in this way, that is me allowing them to continue to hurt me without possibly knowing they're doing it.
And so that's me allowing that to continue. So forgiveness does require healthy boundaries. And it's something that Radha had said that kind of ties into this, too. I'm so glad you brought it up, Rhonda, which was. Knowing what I what caused me to do that thing, what in my history or what recently might have caused me to do that thing, and then also understanding what might have caused somebody else to do that thing. That is empathy.
Right now in our culture, we have kind of a strange. Way of talking about or looking at empathy. Empathy does not need agreement. I don't have to agree with someone else to try to understand why they have done something. They might have a completely different perspectiveonf that. So in your example, Yuri's son with the VCs' pieces, maybe they were sitting on the counter in the break room .And Barbara came in that day, didn'realiseze they were yours, didn't realise that you had just left the room to go use the restroom and had just set them there.
I just thought, you know, I guess these are free for the taking in the break room. If you knew that, that might change how you feel about why she took it and how you feel about who she might be as a person.
The context does matter, and that is what empathy i, is understanding why someone might have done what they've done or why they feel the way they feel. It doesn't mean you have to agree with them.
