[Ailist] If you had one wish...Compassion

[Nick Heap]

Dear Roger and All

It occurs to me that, in principle, you could run a worldwide appreciative
inquiry into "Compassion". Imagine people asking each other questions and
telling each other stories about when they have given and received
compassion and what that felt like. As positive questions lead to change,
just doing having these conversations would make a difference.

This might even lead to Appreciative Inquiry and appreciative thinking
becoming known and used in the mainstream of life. It would nice to read
about appreciative thinking and work in the popular media and on TV. It
might encourage more positive thinking and action. We have a lot of good
media in Britain, but also far too much negative and cynical stuff.

Any thoughts about how we might go about either of these things?

We could start by sharing our own stories via this list, I suppose.

Best wishes,

Nick
