Yes! We need more kindness — even on social media.
Sarah Silverman may be known for her biting comedy, but her recent exchange with a Twitter troll is being held up as a model of compassion.
A few days ago, Silverman sent out a tweet, and a total stranger replied cruelly with nothing but the “c” word.
But instead of lashing back or blocking the user, Silverman opted for a compassionate response. She tried to look at the root of the problem and figure out what causes the anger that the commenter Jeremy Jamrozy chose to unleash onto her. Her response invited him to open up about his pain and started a conversation that no one expected. Scroll down to see the exchange that is hopefully going to change Jamrozy’s life for the better, and remember that the only way to fight negativity is with grace and a generous heart.
