On 9/11everyone in the world saw that New Yorker's have compassion for others. Where did the judgement that People from New York have no compassion come from? I do not like to generalize but many of the people I have encountered in my life have compassion. But there are those I have come across that lack compassion are those from whom I have had to work with in the Human Services field. But either you have it or you don't. I would hope it is not the lost human skill.

In the company of myself
I have learned a great deal about myself since I have had time to be with myself. It could be a combination of age, experience, life, education, sharing, therapy, etc... But I have learned to enjoy being with myself. I was so use to being chaotic and busy and just constantly doing, so when I was not "doing", I felt like there is something I am missing out on or I am wasting time doing nothing. But I have not been use to doing nothing, because I always found something to do, and "doing nothing" meant I had to really take a look at myself...the real me and all those things resolved and unresolved within me. Wow! is that hard to do...but I had to learn how to do it and to really listen to my inner self and love and respect her. It was not as bad as I thought and it is still a work in progress and I am loving doing nothing in the company of myself more and more.
