history: Thinking about how bad people's lives are in this world makes me very thankful for having a supporting family growing up. Every day I stop and think about how some people have very hard lives and it makes me both sad and also thankful that I had a caring and supportive family growing up. It's nice to hear someone thinking about others. Many people who luck out don't care what happens to others or are grateful for their lot in life.
current: I've always felt a lot of compassion for others. I really can't help it. I thank my mom for that attribute.
next: Sounds like you have a great family.
