I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. It shouldn’t have to happen to you for it to matter 💙
Just becase something doesn't affect you personally doesnt mean you shouldn't care about it.
We, as humans should desire to see others Free from suffering.

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

Disgraced sports stars Ben Cousins and Scott Miller are on a media tour, pledging to ‘pay back’ society. One question the media isn't asking: who is paying them?

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey has been criticised for simplifying its complex characters – particularly women. We asked an expert to fill some of the film’s gaps.

In Homer’s epic, a bold princess helps Odysseus home – but not in Nolan’s film. Who is Nausicaa?
