A Neat Inversion
Perhaps we could look at acts of direct human-level compassion as complements to, not substitutes for, action on a social or political level.
A Story of Rose Nobles – Alchemical Gold and the Infinite Game
We know that a good story, told with assurance and a sanguine nod, is an entryway to a complex house. Generations can pass inside, each new teller in turn captivated by the intricacies of its construction.

Sacred Economics: Chapter 24, Conclusion: The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Tell Us Is Possible (Pt. 25)
