compassion...

...Watching CNN, streaming archives from the earthquake disaster in Haiti still makes my heart break and stomach turn all over again. Makes you feel so powerless in the big scheme of things, and you just wish there was an easy fix button to press. It’s been amazing though to watch how the global community has really come together in relief efforts. Let’s not get desensitized, but keep the Haiti people on our minds and help in whatever way we can…

• One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion. ~Simone de Beauvoir
