#compassion

So much of our world is based on efficiency, doing things as quickly and cheaply as possible. Love this story about a supermarket chain that has slowed things down to provide compassion.

Jumbo, the Dutch supermarket chain, introduced slow checkouts when it discovered some people enjoy chatting while paying for their goods.

 The added personal touch is helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness. The move has proven so successful that Jumbo has installed the slow checkouts in 200 stores.

What I want in my life is #compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.

All #violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished.
