As I learn more and more about the brokenness of this world it becomes harder and harder to write about, so I found a quote from a book that I read for gap year by Henry Nouwen and this is what he says:
                    “Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human."
