Compassion… understanding… open-mindness… aren’t we all so friggin’ awesome (!) But can we truly be tolerant and respectful of people who are wron… I mean, people who have views that differ from ours?
So let’s try and see the world from their point of view? All you lefties out there, can you try and right a Tory play? Or for your Republicans, you are left with writing an ode to the Democrats?
But – you have to make sure that you do this without being sarcastic, without trying to prove them wrong… but from an honest place of understanding and acceptance!
Can we write a play from the point of view of an ISIS fighter? What about from the point of view of a racist? a misogynist? a… Hitler?
And let’s open this Pandora box (why the hell not!) Whatever you voted for Brexit – can you write a play supporting the other side?
I could not bring myself to follow this prompt. With everything going on in my life, I don’t have the bandwidth to be compassionate right now. Someday I’ll revisit it. But not today.
