To kill a mockingbird....

A few weeks ago, I went to see To Kill a Mockingbird at the theatre in Cardiff. Set in 1934 Alabama, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize–winning story was brought to life through an incredible performance and a powerful adaptation of the book. 

 One of the lines that stayed with me was: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb inside his skin and walk around in it.” It raises an important question: How do we truly empathise with another person? How do we broaden our perspective—our range of perspectives—and see an issue through someone else’s eyes? How do we connect deeply enough to understand what it means to walk in another person’s shoes? 

The answer begins with a simple commitment: we need to invest in others. Invest our time, our energies and our care.
