Sometimes a story just sticks. The following three stories
of compassion, or lack thereof, have stuck with me through the years. The first
is a must-read for anyone who practices a religion—any religion. The second
questions what exactly makes a community. And the third, well, the third is a
story all its own. Enjoy.
