An interesting thought

 "I kept thinking that Douglas was another of those liberals who loved humanity in the abstract, but couldn't stand people in particular." - law clerk to Justice Douglas, as quoted in NY Times. 

Is humanity something to be participated with, in, and through, or merely observed from a far soaked in the desk lamp's amber light? 

You can only learn so much from books and change so much from conversation. Theory and principle will never make a difference unless acted upon. If we all hide away behind comfort, then who will be out there facing the opposition?

Maybe that is why God made people different.
