My public health comrade! Another sharp one …I was literally just in this kōrero with a friend today. True nuance and empathy aren’t the same as making excuses. Humanising doesn’t cancel accountability. Compassion ≠ complicity. If anything, compassion in the truer sense (maybe even a Buddhist framing) means being precise about naming harm and the ones who cause that same harm to be made accountable for it.
Excellent piece: 🙏
