“If you want a better world, tell a better story — especially one that centers justice without vengeance.” –Gareth Higgins 

How do we tell stories that offer us the best chance of creating a more peaceful and loving reality? In this episode of Learning How to See, we’re exploring stories of revolution. Although these tales often contain values of heroism and liberty, they are more likely to feed into the cycle of violence rather than end it.
