Quote by David Osit

“…empathy shouldn’t be offered based on who someone is; it should be offered based on who we are…. If we can decide that one group of people is a villain and beyond redemption and not deserving of humanity, as we see all the time in society, it’s very easy to say that about any other group of people.”
