It is my belief, that it is through our acts of kindness and compassion that this balance is maintained, and to pass up on an opportunity to help another, is to deny them the joy that would have counteracted the misery they have suffered, or will suffer in future.
it surely helps alleviate the stress but in the big picture it doesnt matter much. What will do it is to quit giving away our consent to any wanna-be rulers. The biggest enemy of peace and prosperity is inner fear.
For sure. And that includes the implied consent we give by not decrying the many things we ought to.
