This is a project to help people care. All of us want to care more about the world, but "children starving in Africa" just doesn't reach us sometimes, and we end up feeling guilty for not doing anything at all. This is an attempt to find better mediums to reconnect people and their struggles from all walks of life. As a disclaimer, some of the content will be graphic/disturbing. Please, please, please feel free to comment and contribute, your opinions are welcome!

Joan Halifax: The True Meaning of Compassion
Great ideas: Compassion means (1) the ability to look clearly into the nature of suffering, (2) which activates the mordal cortex to aspire to transform suffering, and (3) to not be attached to the outcome, for being attached to the outcome distorts your ability to be present.
