Britt Bravo wrote recently in her Have Fun • Do Good blog about compassion:

Thing is, you can sign petitions, make donations, organize rallies, and spread the word about do-good things all you want, but if you’re not being kind to the people around you, are you really a changemaker? …

[Via Have Fun • Do Good: 29-Day Giving Challenge Takeaway: Compassion is Hardest to Give.]

And she included this 4.5 minute YouTube video — one that I think we could all do well to view. I hope that next time I’m aggrieved at the neighbours who park inconsiderately or the hoons who race their cars nearby at midnight I think of this video. Thanks Britt.

And what a good way for the organisation who created this video to both spark a change in the world and arouse interest in themselves. Note the subtle, but clear credit at the end of the movie, and consider also the ‘get service’ message that shows up (appropriately) a couple of times in the video itself.
