where is the love nicholas kristof

This post by NY Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof, “Where Is The Love?” I’ve been thinking about this line from his post for days: “A Princeton University psychology professor, Susan Fiske, has found that when research subjects hooked up to neuro-imaging machines look at photos of the poor and homeless, their brains often react as if they are seeing things, not people. Her analysis suggests that Americans sometimes react to poverty not with sympathy but with revulsion.”

  1. I was truly surprised by Nicholas D. Kristof’s statement,”Researchers say that’s why the poorest 20 percent of Americans donate more to charity, as a fraction of their incomes, than the richest 20 percent. Meet those who need help, especially children, and you become less judgmental and more compassionate” — unbelievable. Wow- food for thought!

    Looking for ways to be generous today.
