Healing, Empathy

That large-heartedness -- that concern and regard for the plight of others
-- is not a partisan feeling. It's not a Republican or a Democratic feeling.
It, too, is part of the American character --
our ability to stand in other people's shoes; a recognition that
we are all in this together, and when fortune turns against one of us,
others are there to lend a helping hand; a belief that in this country, hard
work and responsibility should be rewarded by some measure of security and
fair play; |
