 We need generosity and compassion. Those two things go hand in hand in being a human being of uncommon goodness. Recognizing the need, compassion, and secondly, willing to do something to change the situation. You see, many have feelings of compassion but lack the will to do something to change the situation. If we want to be compassionate, if we want to say we actually care, then we must be doers. Mental assent that something needs to be done is not enough.
