Empathy

It’s me again, with another quote from the amazing actor and activist, Audrey Hepburn:

I find it interesting that the things listed in the body of her quote are what society typically stresses as the things to strive for in this lifetime:  career, wealth, intelligence, status. However, as Ms. Hepburn so aptly points out, nothing is more important than our ability to empathize with each other.

And I love the phrase “to survive with dignity.” We are all on a shared journey.  We experience the same heartaches, losses, and struggles.

What if we decided to join hands and run this human race together with dignity?

Question:  What do you value above all else?

Food For Thought:  Is it things? Or people?

Challenge:  The next time you go out to a public place, look around.  Is there someone who could use some help?
