Ashley Smith was kind and compassionate to her kidnapper and it saved her life. She told her story in her book titled Unlikely Angel. Compassion has the power to affect people profoundly.
Very powerful work =), amazing what you've done with such powerful people/ generals. Can't have been easy.

As long as people eat animals, there will never be peace. First step to a compassionate life is taking on a whole foods plant based diet. It also means compassion toward yourself, your body will thank you : )
