Re: Compassion

We watched the NYE fireworks near the Manly pier.  it was lovely and the kids had a great time.  I enjoyed the people, gum trees and stars as well as the fireworks.  I am home for a couple of days before we head off for another week of music.

cheers Apple

Re: Compassion

Tools and technology can be useful but can also be misused.

Technology is NOT the new god. Its just a tool.

My brother with colorectal is into the personalised biomed stuff .. it can be fantastic .. but still needs human training and decisionmaking to actually make it useful.  I have watched exhausted oncologist struggle with keeping up with their reading.  Lets not be too gung ho about technology ... just measuredly and carefully optimistic.

Nothing replaces genuine compassion ... that is person to person respectful empathic interaction.
