"Turn the World Around: Responding to Deep Human Suffering" -- Jone Johnson Lewis

Felix Adler, who founded the first Ethical Society, talked about the deep "spiritual pain" of knowing that there is so much human suffering in the world. It is, he wrote, as if we stand on the shore, watching millions drown, knowing that we cannot save them all.

Sometimes it seems that denial is the only alternative to being paralyzed. Jone will talk about some ways we can make the choice to be more in touch with human suffering yet keep ourselves from being overwhelmed.
