And often you can decide you're going to, and you still wake up the next morning with all the pain and the grief and the annoyance and the irritation with that person. And you might have to decide to forgive again. You might have to decide that's how you really want to be. and you're going to work towards it and you've got to train yourself towards it.

I mean, I think it's, I just don't think it's necessarily easy or simple. I think it can really change you to live that way. And I think it can change you to receive those kinds of acts, to be allowed a possibility of redemption. But fundamentally, it's about opening yourself up to recognise the humanity in another person.

So the difference, say, between I see the difference between grace and compassion, there'll be maybe you have a neighbor down the road who's got cancer and you've always got on well with this neighbor. You're worried about them. You drop them off food, meals, you know, mow their lawn, whatever it is they need to have done. That's compassion and empathy and kindness.

Now, what if that neighbour had always actually been a real jerk, who had been rude to neighbours, you know, just hostile to the kids in the area, whatever, just not pleasant to be around, and they had cancer and you still did the same thing for them? that's when someone fundamentally isn't deserving it, but you're doing it because there's a need and there's a human there.

And then if you sat long enough with that person, you might work out like, oh, he... I don't know. That's a man who lost his parents when it was orphan when he was two years old and has had chronic illness his whole life and has just suffered a lot and which has calcified around him and made him a really angry person. I don't know.

Going back to your original point, people know it when they see it, right? So if I could talk briefly about this study, which really excited me, and that's the reason I wrote this whole book. I've done a lot of work in the area of awe.

in what it means to be struck by something, be stopped in your tracks, be amazed by something that you might not understand, that you might marvel at, that makes you feel small. And yet a lot of research around all showing that it makes you feel more connected to each other, to the world. Like it's psychologically really good for us to feel small sometimes and it makes people more altruistic.
