FABRIC OF THE SOUL:
The Christmas Spirit seems
a thing of the past
does it not?
There are no simple solutions to the problems facing city fathers I know.
Still, cruelty seems a poor solution here where temperatures will go below zero in the days to come.
Cruelty seems to be written into the code of Man's DNA.
That is why compassion is so rare.
It must overcome the inertia of Man's natural inclination.
“There is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man
and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to
man.”
- Alan Paton
(South African author and anti-apartheid activist)
To end on a lighter note
(for those who enjoyed ROGUE ONE):
Hi Roland - homelessness is a major problem ... but taking blankets away is just 'unfair' ... but Alan Paton's quote is the one we should adhere to ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Star Wars clip ... I'm still none the wiser ... I guess there#s a few years I missed out on!
Cheers and all the best as the days draw on to 2017 ... Hilary
Compassion is an effort.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that Star Wars clip before. Funny stuff.
