How to pronounce "compassionately"

If it's too hard to shower  today, grab the baby wipes.  

It may not be the normal way to do it,

but you deserve to be clean.

If it's too hard to cook dinner,

get paper plates, heat up something frozen.

You’ll go back to cooking and washing another day,

but the day is not today.

And in the meantime, you deserve to eat.

If you're too depressed to do your dishes,

get a two-gallon Ziploc bag and keep it in your bedroom.

Because if you put a dirty plate into a  two-gallon Ziploc bag and seal it,

it will keep the bugs away.

Because you deserve a sanitary environment

even if you can't get out of bed.

I could share with you hundreds of other genius solutions

that people have come up with once they embraced the idea

that care tasks are morally neutral.

In my experience, people will exhibit mind-blowing creativity

when they are only taught how to speak compassionately to themselves.
