Laura's note: Based on this article, I'd say Sarah Silverman gets it.
Sarah Silverman may be known for her biting comedy, but her recent exchange with a Twitter troll is being held up as a model of compassion.
A few days ago, Silverman sent out a tweet, and a total stranger replied cruelly with nothing but the "c" word.
But instead of lashing back or blocking the user, Silverman opted for a compassionate response.
"I believe in you. I read ur timeline & I see what ur doing & your rage is thinly veiled pain," she tweeted back. "But u know that. I know this feeling. Ps My back F--king sux too," she added, referring to the back troubles the user mentioned in his Twitter feed. "see what happens when u choose love. I see it in you."
