sharing is caring

After reading about Warren Buffet's call for "shared sacrifice" from the super-rich in a recent opinion article in the NY Times, this quote struck a chord.

I think it’s important for us to live in an inclusive world. Excluding people for this reason or that is, in most cases, grossly unfair. I also think that the myth of the self-made man is exactly that, a myth. All of us are born under many conditions over which we had no control or no vote, i.e. where and when we were born, whether we were male or female, the color of our skin, our ethnicity, and our religion.  
-Thomas J. White, co-founder of Partners in Health

And this Aloe Blacc song never fails to strike a chord deep within. That voice. That plaintive plea. It worms its way into my soul. Every. Single. Time.



Happy Friday y'all!  Besos y abrazos de Guate!

I think I heard this song on a Tylenol commercial and slowly grew in love with it. The song, that is.
