"A bore is a person, who, when you ask him how he is, tells you." - Bert Leston Taylor
Being interested in the life, triumphs, and low points of another person's life make us most human. We can care not just about the survival of people around us but their psychic well being too. After all, when a person bleeds is not the only sign of danger. There are far deeper and more insidious dangers than bleeding.
Our life view, the optimism that we carry, or the depression that we shoulder are just as significant as a physical ailment.
The whole Torah is consumed with two primary ideas:
1. Knowing there is a God and to have a relationship with Him and
2. Behaving in a godly manner towards others.
The second point can only be accomplished if we bother to care.
