Positive Psychology and Mindfulness

A Paradigm Shift

From what I hear, read and feel, there seems to be a paradigm shift going on. Those of you that watch fear based news shows may not agree. Those shows appear to be financially backed by those that want to keep us too fearful to think clearly and notice what they are doing "behind the curtain." The shift I'm alluding to is kindness, empathy, forgiveness and non judgmental ideation. More and more of this planet's inhabitants are realizing that we are all doing the best we can with what we've experienced thus far. This is not an excuse but a reason for behavior that we don't like. I have realized that the fine line between judgment and acknowledging what you don't like is empathy. When we understand what we don't like without demonizing the person exhibiting the unwanted behavior, we are using empathy and mindfulness. This, to me, is preferable to taking things personally and assuming others' motivations. What do you think?
