On Empathy

“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”
- Henry David Thoreau

This was recently sent to me and I found it to be profoundly true.
I experienced and lived this every day of my life as a nurse and was so humbled to be a part of so many lives through the good times and the bad.

If only we lived in a kinder, gentler world where compassion and empathy for our fellow man superceded all else,
where we set aside the anger and hatred and worked together for a better more peaceful world filled with love and caring.
I suppose I'm a dreamer.
It can only happen one person at a time. I wish that time was now.
Please pass this on...

Yes...it can only happen one step at a time and a little bit at a time. Look at how long the civil rights struggle took and now the state of North Carolina has that fight going in the opposite direction. We just have to continue fighting, one step at a time.
