We must not lose our ability to care and be compassionate

There’s something missing and I’m not exactly sure when it happened. It’s very small but I hadn’t realized or appreciated how important it was until it wasn’t there anymore. It’s just a little thing...the letter ‘e’ but it’s the difference between ‘human’ and ‘humane’. I hope it can be found soon.
