People use the word compassion in so many different ways, or organization titles, all hoping in their own way that they are the beacon of the true meaning of the word to those around them.
In face, compassion is not in my opinion something that separates us from other animals (at least based on what we can observe in animal interactions), and yet I think it is a critical part of the human as well. If you think about nearly all the "bad guys" in books, plays or movies, compassion is one of the critical character traits that they are often missing.
Well, today I just wanted to praise a local kid for his compassionate work for those children less fortunate than himself. He has cared, and through the encouragement of his parents, he has truly blessed the lives of many other kids in a permanent kind of way. If you read his blog, you'll probably be as touched as I was by his actions and attitude.
