How to write on your self portrait

Write to a group of people who disagree with many of your core beliefs. Imagine that these people genuinely want to do good and have sincere reasons for believing what they do. Do your best to have empathy and respect for them. After reading your excellent portrait, a few of these people may be persuaded to think differently. Most of your readers will not change their beliefs, but some will have gained understanding and empathy — this is your primary objective.

Additional rules

Note that, for now, the responsibility of interpreting and enforcing these rules rests solely upon the Empathy Portraits moderators.
