'humanity'

When you get to stand On the outside of the circle Do you like what you see around you? How you react to life How you react to the challenges thrown at you Do you feel guilty about your actions? How you handled a particular situation Do you sometimes wish you could do it over? When that hits you, You can feel at ease with who you are Because you still have a conscience Unlike others who go through life Hurting people, Those who walk all over others ‘Cause they not in agreement with their needs In life we tend to forget That being human involves compassion Humanity means to show that you actually care Especially when no one is around to praise you For all the unseen extra you do

this is really good because it makes those of us who "feel" regret or worry for our actions feel better about ourselves. Too many people do not feel at all!!
