Change of heart

What we need to create genuine change is a change of heart. Too many have become complacent to speak words that do not conform to actions. Many structures have been erected to provide a cover for good altruistic works but are self interested rewards. Many will say they care about the homeless but would not provide shelter. We all know what a good samaratin would do but few can actually rise to the occasion and do it. Many donate to charity at the end of the year in order to claim a tax credit. Many will give away that which they would have thrown away. We see the church and charities as the structural institutions to ease our consciences for the misery we encounter and ignore. In some cases the corporations that cause the misery will donate to an institution to indirectly ameliorate the situation in order to avoid direct responsibility.
The first person to change is oneself and the first thing to change is ones heart. Synchronize the heart to actions. If each of us treat humans with humanity we will feel good and so will other humans.
