The Inconvenience of Compassion

Compassion is part of what makes humanity…human. It has always been needed and cherished; however, I believe compassion is more important than ever today. Calls for compassion are heard in the voices of the oppressed and seen in the faces of children. We all need to learn to give and receive compassion.
