I am reminded of the time my father-in-law tripped over some wood when he was renovating our basement. Apparently he fell to the floor with a resounding crash. Fergus, our black lab, ran to the open window in great concern. He tried to clamber in but the opening was to small. He sat at the window until my FIL got up and went outside to reassure him.

Even went to the 'rancher' site and shed some tears for that family in their loss.

Compassion is such a key component to making the world a better place, starting with those closest to us and moving out from there. This is so well written, and you ask some great questions!Lanahttp://www.twoteensandtheirmama.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-14401030823720590572015-02-21T15:44:42.705-07:002015-02-21T15:44:42.705-07:00I totally agree with #7.

I do think society can be less compassionate to issues than they deserve, but lately I think it's more that people feel overwhelmed. The way I do. When it's a very local issue, people will help in a pinch. When it's more national or global, people seem to think they can't help the same way.<br />How people react to their family members, neighbors, townsfolk, and more is really telling!Tamara Camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004696358354444561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4408200542344140440.post-82732019337554352322015-02-21T14:30:29.548-07:002015-02-21T14:30:29.548-07:00Wow great thought provoking questions and great co...Wow great thought provoking questions and great conversation starts indeed.

There are definitely signs of it missing when people pass (or won't pass) laws that affect so many of the people who need help. There are so many acts of cruelty that sometimes they seem to outweigh the acts of compassion. Maybe it's just that we hear more about them today. The old golden rule still applies in my mind...treat others as you would have them treat you. If everyone remembered that, the world would be a wonderful place, wouldn't it? One thing I know about you, Susan, is that you are always kind and compassionate. Great blog!
