  Compassion - The Heart of...

  Compassion is a fundamental human quality, one that transcends individual differences and connects us to one another in profound ways. It is often described as the ability to feel and show concern for the suffering of others, accompanied by a desire to alleviate that suffering. At its core, compassion involves recognizing the pain or distress someone else is experiencing and responding with kindness, empathy, and support. This emotional response is not just about feeling for someone else; it is about acting in ways that may help them through their difficult times. 
  The essence of compassion lies in empathy, which is the ability to deeply understand and share the feelings of another. When we empathize with someone, we can put ourselves in their shoes, imagining their emotional and physical states. Compassion takes this a step further, as it compels us to act in a way that can alleviate or ease their suffering. It is more than simply being moved by someone’s pain; it is the drive to do something about it, whether through words of encouragement, acts of service, or offering comfort. 
  It is important to distinguish compassion from sympathy. Sympathy involves feeling pity or sorrow for someone else's misfortune, but it lacks the proactive component that characterizes compassion. While sympathy may evoke a response such as feeling sad for someone, compassion urges us to take action in a positive way. Compassion connects us to others through action and intention, and it is through this action that we create genuine bonds and meaningful relationships.

  Fear and Trembling

  Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologian, and religious author interested in human psychology. He is regarded as a leading pioneer of existentialism and one of the greatest philosophers of the 19th Century.
  
  In Fear and Trembling, Kierkegaard aimed to understand the anxiety that must have been present in Abraham when God commanded him to offer his son as a human sacrifice. Abraham had a choice to complete the task or to forget it. He resigned himself to the loss of his son, acting according to his faith. In other words, one must be willing to give up all his or her earthly possessions in infinite resignation and must also be willing to give up whatever it is that he or she loves more than God. Abraham had passed the test -- his love for God proved greater than anything else in him. And because a good and just Creator would not want a father to kill his son, God intervened at the last moment to prevent the sacrifice.

  Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address, delivered in 1838, reflects on the fragility of American democracy and the potential dangers of lawlessness and mob rule. Lincoln begins by honoring the Founding Fathers and their sacrifices, emphasizing the importance of preserving their legacy. He warns against the threat posed by individuals who seek to undermine the rule of law and exploit public discontent for personal gain. Lincoln argues that the true danger to the nation comes not from external enemies but from internal strife and moral decay. 
  Central to Lincoln's message is the idea that respect for laws and institutions is essential for maintaining a stable and just society. He calls for citizens to uphold the principles of justice and equality, stressing the need for education and moral guidance to foster responsible citizenship. Lincoln uses historical examples, including the rise and fall of ancient republics, to illustrate the consequences of unchecked lawlessness and civic indifference. 
  Throughout the address, Lincoln's eloquence and deep concern for the future of democracy in America are evident. He urges his audience to cherish and protect the nation's democratic ideals, emphasizing that the strength of the United States lies in the unity and moral character of its people. Lincoln's Lyceum Address remains a timeless reminder of the enduring values that underpin a free and democratic society.

  Outsourcing Duty - The Moral...

  Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society that they defend? More specifically, have America's professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of America's war-fighting decisions since the inception of an all-volunteer force? In this volume, Michael J. Robillard and Bradley J. Strawser examine the question of whether and how American soldiers have been exploited in this way. 
   
   
   
  Robillard and Strawser offer an original theory of "moral exploitation"—the notion that persons or groups can be wrongfully exploited by being made to shoulder an excessive amount of moral weight. They make the case that this exploitation accurately describes the relationship between the United States and the members of its military, and offer an in-depth analysis of some of the exploitative and misleading elements of present-day military recruitment, the moral burdens soldiers often bear, and the stifling effect that a "Thank You for Your Service" and "I support the troops" culture has had on serious public engagement about America's ongoing wars. Robillard and Strawser offer a critique of the pernicious divide between military members and the civilians who direct them. They conclude by arguing for several normative and prudential prescriptions to help close this ever-widening fissure between the US and its military, and within the US itself.

  ‘The most life-affirming book ever written about death.’ Sandi Toksvig‘One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief that you will ever read.’ Anita Anand 
  ‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’ 
  Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them. 
  In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently. 
  In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love—for John and Andy and each other. 
  ‘We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room. 
  ‘In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can’t touch, each other and the lovely dead.’ 
  Catherine Mayer's Good Grief is a top-rated autobiography that explores the psychology of grief and bereavement. It is a profound exploration of relationships, marriage, and family, providing a long-term perspective on dealing with loss. 
  For fans of Angela Levin (Harry), Robert Jobson (Diana), Rachel Clarke (Your Life In My Hands), Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), and Donna Ashworth (Loss).
