Humanity: are you done killing each other-YET?

Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person. ln those transparent moments we know other people's joys and sorrows, and we care about their concerns as if they were our own: Fritz Williams:


When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it? : Eleanor Roosevelt

5. No one scares me more than one without empathy
I have too much and I sometimes put up a gruff exterior in an effort to shield myself. When I start feeling sorry for the bad guys, it's time for a reality check and a swift kick.

6. The killing won't stop until people want peace more than they want revenge
