Skitz was failing as a friend. For some reason he had changed and had not bothered to give his friends the memo. They looked in at his life and wanted to be part of it, but he did not know how to invite them in.
We are more blessed than we realize.
It has become a cliche that we all accept, but don’t really do anything about. Especially as adults we are burned out on need. We are so accustomed to seeing the adds with starving children on TV and hearing about it on the news that we have just accepted it as part of life. Something that we have no real chance to change.
While that is true, it is not true enough. There is no way any of us, even in the richest country in the world, could help everyone, but we could certainly help someone.
What is amazing very year we go to Mexico is that students do not have the moral shielding that adults do. When they see poverty, they don’t justify their wealth, they just give it away. They throw the little they have at those who need it, and run to get more.
They are not worried about the practicality, or the sustainability of their efforts, they are just lost in a moment of total compassion. I wonder if the world would be a better place if we could all learn to be so irresponsibly compassionate. less
