It breaks our hearts, yes, but humanity can also lift us so high, we can't see the ground anymore.
Just yesterday, I clicked on a link from a friend about the water evacuation of Manhattan on 9/11. Every tugboat, coast guard, ferry, circle line, yachts, small vessels--they swarmed the river. They carried people out of the city. Something like 500 thousand people in nine hours. It made my skin tingle and my nose sting just thinking about how heroic, how genuinely good human beings can be. Here it is, if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDOrzF7B2Kg&feature=related
