[MR] Just a reminder... ignore if you don't think it applies

[Rowanwald Central]

This isn't a medieval quote, but I thought maybe I should share it anyway:

   "At the heart of many of the atrocities  we see around us is a failure of
compassion, a failure of empathy.  It is the loss of our capacity to see the
Other and ourselves as sacred.  When our capacity for compassion isn't
nurtured, or when it breaks down, or when we distance ourselves until we
begin to treat another being as if he or she has no heart or soul, then
hatred and violence begin to seem inevitable."
