When you hear about what someone else is going through, and you are unable to distance yourself from it or in any way muzzle your empathy and are inspired to actually do something, these are moments to learn from.
Sometimes I do pinch myself about the life I've had.
Every person remembers some moment in their life where they witnessed some injustice, big or small, and looked away because the consequences of intervening seemed too intimidating.

I've never felt any huge intrusions into my personal life.
I realize that my life is not the common ordinary person.
In my life I have always found ways of dealing with a situation.
