Your Heart Was Made for This Quotes

“Not all holding on leads to suffering, and not all resistance is reactive. We hold on to our aspirations, our commitments, and our vision of equity and justice. We resist the forces of greed, hatred, and delusion. The generative resistance of social movements grows from seeing collective suffering and can be informed by profound love and compassion, rather than avoidance or denial. With careful attention and investigation, we can discern when holding on or resisting is connected to our integrity and wisdom and likewise when it’s rooted in reactivity, ignorance, and producing suffering.”
