It's important to understand that all of this is a result of lack of compassion for fellow man. No man is an island, and underneath we are all connected. We must treat others as we wish to be treated.

This organization I think has found the center of it.
The Charter for Compassion
This made me cry tears of joy. You don't have to be a genius to understand what's going on in the world right now. There are people in power that don't understand how little we ask for. Some respect, a voice, a roof above our heads. There are some in this world who want to take all of that away. I am truly sorry for those individuals. The people in this video truly understand the roots that connect us all. One love.
