"There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity."
Simplified meaning
When people suffer, many others do not seem to care or take action to help them. This quote is urging us to not ignore those in pain but to actively help through kind actions. Imagine a homeless person on the street—many might walk by without even noticing. Instead, we should stop, offer food, or donate to shelters to make a real difference. This teaches us that small, caring gestures can make a big impact on someone's life. So, we should look for ways to help those in need around us, rather than just feeling sorry for them.
