It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.

You care

Caring is costly. That’s why it’s so valuable, so desirable, so essential.

When you care you’re making yourself vulnerable. It’s a risk well worth taking.

As terrible as hatred is, there’s something even more empty and destructive. That is not caring at all.

For the sake of yourself and all those around you, stay as far away from indifference as you can. Make it your intent to always care about the life, the world, and most importantly, the people you encounter.

Caring will expose you to pain, yet it will reward you with meaning, purpose, and love. Caring is how you invest in life, and it’s an investment that pays endless dividends.

Think of all you care about, then extend and deepen that caring. You care, and it’s a magnificent way to be.

— Ralph Marston
