We live in a world today that lacks loving-kindness and compassion for our fellow man and woman. As Gandhi so eloquently stated, Be the change that you wish to see in the world. We need to strive to be better, to be the image of selflessness. Love and give to those in need--expecting nothing in return. Give out of sincerity and from the depths of our hearts. Have compassion for every man, woman and child, no matter what ethnicity or background they come from. Love is blind. Love is unconditional. Love has the power to heal and redeem, and that is what Humanity should strive for.
