*It teaches you things that could be helpful in special circumstances.
* It helps you get out of your mental cave and understand that you are not alone.
* It enriches your personal world.
* It teaches you compassion.
* It also teaches you identify and understand how some ill-intentioned minds function.
* It teaches you social skills that are important to navigate life.
* It helps you connect with other people.
* It helps your creativity.
* It widens your understanding of what being human is.
Being human is being not only the way you are. There are endless ways to embrace human nature. Wether you like or dislike other ways, they exist, they are part of reality. Ignoring them doesn’t make us wiser, it makes us ignorants. I agree with the sign that John Lennon and Yoko Ono are holding: “Don’t hate what you don’t understand.”

Con más respeto y empatía todo iría mejor…
Un beso!

Thanks for sharing this Elsa, you have connected for me several ideas that I have been trying to help my children understand about compassion, and your ideas, and illustrations make this perfect. What an amazing idea for a children’s book! The children’s book of Love, in the end it is about love and gentleness. Thanks for another inspiring moment! 🙂
Thank you so much for making visible what I have been talking to my kids about – the idea of gentleness and compassion, even in the face of things that we disagree with or dislike.
Not an easy topic, but your illustration makes this so visible. I think it is a great idea for a kids book! Thanks again!!
Love your work! Beautiful words! 🙂
