"The most human thing to do is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." - C. Darrow

“Most human thing,” hides behind want, greed, have-to-have; disguised by what we call values. “Affliction” is also “most human.” If mindful, we comfort afflicted and learn empathy, “most human,” and real of all qualities. It’s much harder to “afflict the comfortable,” tell truth to power; refuse to align with UN-truths. Don’t separate from the “afflicted,” instead hold up a mirror to the “overly comfortable,” including ourselves.
