Helping those in need is one of the highest expres-
sions of human goodness. The charitable impulse
opens our hearts to the world and makes us realize
our common humanity. When we step outside of our-
selves and stand up for a cause we believe in, we grow
in moral stature and become aware of the universal
ties that bind each of us together in a common fate.
