1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.759
In the late 80s and early 90s
I was a leader, an organizer
2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:05.799
of white power
skinhead hate groups.
3
00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:10.000
I was led to a better life
by people who had the courage
4
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.240
to treat me with kindness
when I least deserved it.
5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:17.320
In terms of empathy I think that it was
6
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.960
something I needed to be demonstrated for me
7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.280
and not that I was kind of holding
out for that at all.
8
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.079
In fact, that really kind of
caught me by surprise
9
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.600
when people did have
compassion for me
10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.159
which is really the root
of empathy I believe.
11
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:37.439
And it indicated to me there is
a better way to live your life
12
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.320
and a better way to look
at the world.
13
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.679
And that example that they set
really drove home
14
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.280
how wrong I was to hate people
and to hurt people.
15
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.000
Because that example was set for me
I was able to see the value of it
16
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.560
and start practicing it myself.
