Something I am realizing more and more....

You can envy and be jealous of those who have what you do not have, or be compassionate and empathetic toward those who do not have what you have.

This is a choice-and I have chosen both, at different times in my life, but I find it is simply impossible to do both of those things simultaneously. And I would rather have my own life be based on the latter, not the former.

This is my New Year's Resolution: to live out a life based on compassion and empathy for those who need it most. The question is, will other DU'ers be willing to join me?
