Today I have been thinking a lot about compassion and taking responsibility for the things that you say. Sometimes it is fun to be snarky, or to crack a non-pc joke. I do it, lots of people do it. However, I think that it is important to realize that while you think what you are saying won't hurt anyone, chances are when you say it in a public forum, you will hurt someone.
All I am saying is that a little compassion can go a long way. There is this great commercial from Liberty Mutual about responsibility. There are people who see other people struggling, or who have dropped something of value to them and then how people are responsible (compassionate) and help the people they see in need. It may not be a big deal to you, but it may mean the world to the person you are helping.
Ok, sounds preachy, but really I think that there is something to be admired about posessing the compassion quality. > I have been working on this my whole life and I hope that one day, that will be a trait that makes up me.
Happy Thursday!
PS - I got the Admin job over in Humanities! HOORAY!
