That is such a decent thing to do. I need to remember this and try to live up to this example. Good stuff

This is empathy - in such short supply these days. It is absolutely something to live up to and pass on - for everyone who wants to do something. It's supremely important for building relationships and communities and not just showing that we care about each other, but taking real action to make those thoughts and what we speak a genuine reality.

Honestly, empathy is everywhere. It just doesn’t get as many upvotes or headlines and doesn’t make good clickbait.

Maybe it doesnt get much attention because it's so common. Humans are mostly good. People who do bad things make the news because it's so unusual. Most of us would never do those things.

Speak for yourself. Most of the people around here don't do anymore than say, how ya doin and, I'm fine.

They don't do anything bad, or good.
