How compassion goes further than pity
Steffen Linssen & Daniel Kühbacher |
TEDxTUM
• December 2018
Steffen and Daniel have complementary perspectives on disability and disease: Steffen has a disease called Myasthenia gravis, which forces him to sit in a wheelchair, while Daniel is a member of the Austrian Mountain Rescue Service and a former member of the Red Cross. They both know how important it is to actively interact with people with disabilities, instead of being guided by preconceptions. In this touching talk, they'll explain how showing compassion instead of pity can lead to better mutual understanding.
