“In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see. In the face of injustice, one may not look the other way. When someone suffers, and it is not you, he comes first. His very suffering allows him or her priority….To watch over a person who grieves is a more urgent duty than to think of God.” Elie Wiesel
Compassion brings us to the brink of joy. Listening to another in full attention and empathy, calls forth mutual joy for both parties.
