What is it with giraffes and NVC?
Giraffes have a large heart, measuring up to 0.6 meters (2 feet) long and weighing an average of 11 kg (25 pounds). Plus, their lungs can hold 55 liters (12 gallons) of air! In Nonviolent Communication, it symbolizes the intention and capacity to recieve and speak with compassion and empathy — with a big heart! They also have a specially adapted tongue and mouth that allows them to eat thorny branches without getting hurt.
"Get very clear about the kind of world we would like and then start living that way."
"Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same."
"While we may not consider the way we talk to be ‘violent,’ words often lead to hurt and pain, whether for others or ourselves."
"Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing. Instead of offering empathy, we often have a strong urge to give advice or reassurance and to explain our own position or feeling. Empathy, however, calls upon us to empty our mind and listen to others with our whole being."
