" COMMON GOOD " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower and nature

Oh, Empathy, you divine child of love, I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our self-interest on the altar of common good for only in this way mankind could put aside their differences and find solutions for the benefit of us all! © Demetrios Trifiatis 26 April 2022

Your sensitivity is evident in everything you write, my friend Demetrios, and it is inspirational. Your supplication reverberates in the realm of the divine.

How true is that!! Putting empathy and love for others before self. Wouldn't the world become the best place to live in?

Words of wisdom Demetrios, we should always try and put our own interests aside and as you say for the benefit of mankind, we can only hope that it will happen. Tom
