If we could see inside other people’s hearts

This short video is quiet, profound, powerful, simple — and so supremely human, showing the inner lives of people around us as they go about their daily tasks. Most of it is set in a hospital, where there is so much worry, sadness, some joy, bad news, good news, no news, anxiety, fear – as in real life, but perhaps magnified.

It was produced by the Cleveland Clinic, as an example of their regard for empathy.

We never know what is really going on for someone else and this is a reminder that we should be mindful to treat others with the benefit of the doubt, courtesy, compassion and respect.
