    “10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction.” -Susan Sontag

    Thank you for being part of the merciful 10%.

      I’d say that is too generous of praise but thank you. I try to be part of the merciful 10% for sure. Never heard of this before but I really like it

        It isn’t overly generous, you yourself said it, “…I’d still help them.”

        I’m glad you like the quote, thank you again for living it :)
