RE: Steemitschool Poetry Class - Recording and Notes- Critique Thursday - 22/3/18
You're welcome! And apparently all the classes are recorded with a bot or something on the Discord end, but it seems there have been issues with uploading it, so I've taken the steps to record this class.
Empathy is used in a more complex and layered way here. It is not meant to use "be kind," though that is a good place to start anyway, but rather, "Try to see where the other side is coming from." You can't give good feedback without knowing what an author aimed for. So you need to think where they, rather than you, come from, and what their goals for the piece are, rather than where you think it should be.
And I too could stand to learn some things about being more positive and supportive as I try to help people, if I'm being honest.
Also, welcome to the class, at long last :D
