most effective. Because she believes that fixing is a form of judgment that creates
distance and connection when we look at helping others as fixing them. Then we are
creating distance and disconnection. She also used the word helping connotates a
relationship of non-equals. Helping is based on inequality whereas service as a
relationship based on equals. When we are serving someone we see them as an
equal to us and that's important.. Serving is renewing.
