A Little Heart Please.

In this blog I wanted to address the situation we touched on last Thursday about the university buying footbaths for the Muslim students. We talked about the financial situation and the majority as opposed to the minority, but one issue we didn’t address was Christian kindness. It seems to come up in every other discussion that we have in class, but for some reason it was absent in this one. I personally believe that installing the footbaths was the right thing to do, but I had to really think about why I felt that way. I found that the true reason was in my heart. We could, and did, discuss all the technical aspects of the situation, but sometimes the right answer comes from the heart, from the want to do good and what’s right. That’s how I feel about the situation. When the money is available, it will benefit students, and it shows that someone actually cares, why would you not help those who can use it? When I really think about it, I can’t help but feel that sometimes the right answer has nothing to do with facts or statistics. Now, when following what you feel is right in your heart and when following those facts and statistics should be used is an entirely different subject altogether, but I do believe that in some cases, the heart can make the right decision.

I commented on Ashley's blog a perfect solution.
