“It's such a simple thing, really. It's an awareness that the other people in the world are other people, and that you are one of them. That every time you have a chance to help somebody out, to do what's right instead of what you think you're supposed to do, you should do it.” PeopleThinkingWorldShouldHelpingChanceSimpleAwarenessSimple Things Author:Keith Olbermann
