I always figured you were supposed to give up something you really cared about, so you could really understand suffering. But I'm not Catholic, so maybe I have that wrong.

I like the idea of doing something nice. The world needs more kindness.

Maybe we should have a daily kindness thread. That could make for some interesting reading. Does it count as a kindness if I don't tell the student who is totally driving me insane to get out of my face? Probably not.
