I strongly believe one of the best traits parents can teach their children is compassion. Without it, the world can be very cruel.
In recent weeks, in the darkness of the horrific effects of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and now Maria, as well as the deadly earthquakes in Mexico, we’ve seen the beauty of compassion unfold right before our eyes.
J.J. Watt, for example, a young professional football player in Houston, Texas, wanted to raise $200,000 for hurricane relief. As of last week, the amount raised was more than $37 million.
It’s evidence that compassion is more important than greed.
We saw people making a human chain to save an elderly person from drowning.
