Every person has a story, a personal history that explains the way they feel, behave, and live. Unfortunately, many of these people, and maybe even you, have been beaten up by life’s circumstances. But there is always hope for healing, especially when we learn to understand one another. When we change our perspective, ask “what happened to you?” rather than “what’s wrong with you?”. We can build stronger people, relationships, and communities. Lucky for us, the Order of Asclepius, helps us turn the kaleidoscope and see the world a little differently.
