Drawing inspiration from academic pursuits, Yaki navigates the complexities of life, recognizing the importance of empathy in healing. The narrative extends to the 12 steps of AA, underscoring the transformative power of helping others. Service, a concept learned from Buddhist monks, becomes a central theme, highlighting the reciprocal nature of empathy. Yaki's perspective on empathizing with abusers, acknowledging societal shortcomings, and the societal impact of uniformity adds depth to the conversation.
