Thou shalt not forsake othersnwho through sickness are in neednor overlook the faminenand the many we could feed
Thou shalt not through indifferencenmiss the chance to simply pausenand choose to lend a helping handnno matter what the cause
COMMENTARY:
Yesterday, I came across the story of Elie Wiesel, a World War II concentration camp survivor who has dedicated his life to helping others. In the article Elie was asked about people's indifference and arrogance. He replied that he meets so many sensitive people from all walks of life that he couldn't generalize. In fact, he added:
'A doctor in New York read a quote of mine that sparked her involvement. "Somebody had asked me, "[Mr Wiesel], What is the most important commandment in the Bible?" and I said, "Thou shalt not stand idly by." So she packed up her office and went to Macedonia.." '
As a service to those who've requested it, here is a link to a compilation of sites with ways to help. http://www.eurweb.com/articles/headlines/09142001/headlines409709142001.cfm

Funeral services are a helping hand in such a scenario as they take the entire responsibility on their shoulders and assist the bereaved family in every possible way. Earlier, the funerals in Narre Warren were mostly dominated by males as it was a male-dominated industry. However, a lot has

Thoughts on Cannabis
Cannabis smokers frequently report that when stoned, their musings have a free-wheeling quality and ideas appear to be associated in surprising and fun loving manners . An investigation just distributed online in Psychiatry Research recommends that this impact might be because of the medication causing 'reckless' examples of spreading movement in memory, something known as 'hyper-preparing'.

Why Do Serial Killers Kill?
For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak. So said the Bardâand it seems he was right on the money. Murder doth speak and has an echo far more pressing than any comment on the living. After all, we are, to this day, asking ourselves this: are we predisposed to kill, or are we puppeteered? Understanding the Reptile Brain Also called the triune brain, the reptile brain is a part of every human beingâs cerebral makeup. This is the part of the brain associated with our
