What's missing

What's missing from life? What's missing from how we interact with each other? I'm leading a penny drive at school to help patients battling Leukemia and Lymphoma. It's one of my most favorite events at school. The students donate more out of a sense of competition to win the pizza party, rather than a sense of community service to help others...but still. I'm hoping that if we can build a habit of service now, before they understand why it's important, then when they do get it it will already seem like second nature to serve.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis...it is the lack of love and charity; the terrible indifference to one's neighbor.
