" I accept my failure and my limitations. It would be the height of hubris if I did not. But what I will not accept is those who tell us that it doesn't matter, that other things are more important, that we ought to offer a hand to anguish only in the narrowest of circumstance.
The reason we ought offer that hand in the first place: because to look on human agony and consistently remain unmoved is to be dead in all the ways that truly matter, dead to the mystery of pulse and breath, dead to the gifts of grace and kindness, dead to the fragility of Creation."
"If we live in the world with honor, we must not let misery go unmet."
--William F. Schulz
