The lack of action to meet the needs of others is sometimes astounding. We play off acting responsibly as something that can’t be done because of our lack of ability. When it comes to serving others, we often ask the question, “should I?” I think a better question is “can I?” If the answer to the latter is “yes,” then action must be taken. I think this is the general idea of Bono’s commencement address to the 2004 graduating class of the University of Pennsylvania entitled “Because We Can, We Must.”
What can you do about the situation in Africa?
What can you do about poverty in America?
What can you do about politics?
What can you do about anything?
