If someone is called a “bleeding heart liberal” they are considered as someone who expresses excessive sympathy for another's unfortunate situation. This is a derogatory term usually and yet if you think about it, it means someone is being ridiculed for caring too much. Imagine the contrary. Imagine a world in which we all cared too much for each other. Would war stop? Would we all be more curious and less judgmental? In this painting the hearts are bleeding or crying out for the world to listen to one another so we all do less harm, Ahimsa.
