Can we change how we approach the problem of injustice in the world? Instead of seeing the problems of the world as laboratories where we apply our know-how and problem-solving skills, we first seek to understand the fullness of the story of suffering. We listen before we diagnose and seek to fix. Can we begin to more intentionally embody a connection to suffering in the world? We should begin to embrace those who lament. We may find that our flourishing may depend on the lives of those whom we have seen as problems to be fixed rather than as humanity to be embraced.
