There are many of us who live alongside others, less fortunate, watching them go through everyday suffering for one reason or another, and weâ__re not moving even our little finger to help them. Itâ__s in human nature, unfortunately: for the most part, the only people we genuinely care about are ourselves.

Have compassion for every man, woman and child, no matter what ethnicity or background they come from. Love is blind. Love is unconditional. Love has the power to heal and redeem, and that is what Humanity should strive for.
Lets toil under the sun to build poles of love. And let our roots be planted like strong trees that strong winds can't move.
Love is one of the strongest feelings one can ever have.
