Ciao Maurizio: I appreciate the compassion and righteous anger that you express for those of us who are treated poorly. Feeling seen, heard and understood in our experience is a gift. And it seems you truly connect with the point that I am writing about.

There are so many people in our world that hurt and use others. By sharing and connecting, I hope that we will learn to see the true core of others.

I don't wish for the innocent to feel guilt or offer forgiveness. I do hope that we will instead invest energy toward positive purpose. I wish to see a community of strength and compassion that supports, cares, invests and wants to shine light on evil and abusive behavior.

Thank you for sharing your examples of things to say within intimate moments. I agree, it should come naturally from a heart of love.

Grazie for your thoughtful reply, for reading and connecting.
