Compassion

The big questions:

Have we, as a nation, lost our compassion for others?

Do we limit our compassion?

Are we only concerned about our communities. Our friends. Our families?

Is it all about self-love?

There have been hundreds of books written about love of self, self-esteem, self-fulfillment. Should self issues be our primary concern?

Are we so blinded by our own interests, that we have lost interest about the suffering of strangers?

Life is hard. I get that. Can we emerge from our own cocoons, look around us, and see clearly, that we are not alone?

Do we have what it takes to bring out the Mother Teresa that exists within all of us?

Are we able to take big steps? Steps that are difficult, clumsy, and inconvenient?

It all begins with baby steps.
