Was there an instance where you had an empathetic breakthrough; where you were able to overcome

1. Yes. As a newspaper photographer I met many different people they all have stories to tell.

I guess the fact that I usually try to see everybody’s side to situation, even when I know they’re in the wrong, Has made me much less judge mental. I had to learn the difference between critical thinking and judging people. Not saying I didn’t have personal thoughts toward people, it just wasn’t a part of the story so not part of my job.But it’s hard not to empathize with another human being when you hear their story even if they’re terrible people. It’s a blessing and a curse
