Due to an increasingly divided society, Compassion Fatigues aims to reverse this dangerous path by removing superficial labels of identity politics using a military theme and redefining what it means to be courageous.
Born in 2019, Compassion Fatigues was founded on the premise that society is in desperate need for a reminder to be kind(er). The name Compassion Fatigues is derived from a play-on-words of a medical diagnosis called “compassion fatigue“.
“…(compassion fatigue is) the emotional residue or strain of exposure to working with those suffering from the consequences of traumatic events.”
We are increasingly becoming more and more divided – socially and politically, bound by superficial boxes created to prevent real progress. Most often they dictate whether or not someone deserves our empathy.
Using a military fatigues theme, Compassion Fatigues attempts to redefine what it means to be a soldier – a soldier for peace. It takes an incredible amount of courage to show so much heart, and not fall victim to the ‘us versus them‘ mentality.
