COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Egypt continues to see violence as tens of thousands swelled into Cairo's Tahrir Square

Egypt's military leaders need to to hand over power to a civilian government to meet the protesters' demands.  The violence has thrown Egypt's politics into chaos less than a week before landmark parliamentary elections are to begin.  My feeling is that the struggle underway is unlikely to end soon.

Fresh violence erupted Wednesday between protestors and police near Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square, despite an offer by the ruling military council to speed up the power transfer.
