Urgency

In the moments where we feel we least need to do something—to hone our moral and ethical awareness, to cultivate our capacity for effective reasoning and empathy, to merely give a modicum of attention to someone in need—are the same moments when we probably most need to do it. 

Amidst unsurpassable chaos, great pain, great pleasure—when our emotional impulses conquer and occupy our consciousness—seldom do we make the right decisions.
