In this episode, Scott Stabile explores the idea of choosing love in a divisive world and how empathy can be our guiding light when life feels fractured. Scott shares deeply personal stories — from the tragedy of losing his parents to addiction in his family — and how forgiveness and compassion became the most difficult, yet most healing choices of his life. He talks about the role of awareness, the lies of shame, the futility of chasing quick fixes, and why love isn’t a fleeting feeling but an action we can commit to again and again.&nbsp;Key Takeaways:<ul><li>The transformative power of love as a conscious choice.</li><li>The parable of the two wolves and the importance of feeding the good impulses.</li><li>The role of awareness and compassion in personal growth.</li><li>The impact of shame and the healing power of sharing personal struggles.</li><li>The relationship between forgiveness, empathy, and personal healing.</li><li>The complexities of addiction and its multifaceted nature.</li><li>The distinction between happiness as a feeling versus actions that promote happiness.</li><li>The management of fear through consistent action and self-care.</li><li>The futility of seeking a single solution to emotional struggles.</li><li>The importance of ongoing personal growth and the acceptance of emotional impermanence.</li></ul>If you enjoyed this conversation with Scott Stabile, check out these other episodes:<a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/how-to-be-enough-as-you-are/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How to Be Enough As You Are with Scott Stabile</a><a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/omid-safi-on-radical-love/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Omid Safi on Radical Love</a>For full show notes,<a href="https://www.oneyoufeed.net/choosing-love-in-a-divisive-world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;click here</a>!Connect with the show:<ul><li>Follow us on YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheOneYouFeedPod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheOneYouFeedPod</a></li><li>Subscribe on&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ms/podcast/the-one-you-feed/id792555885" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4byxEuJGV8xnxlgoqHQxxs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a></li><li>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/one_you_feed/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></li></ul>This episode is sponsored by:<a href="https://learn.nocd.com/FEED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NOCD</a>&nbsp;If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.
