Sometimes it's brought home to us that the most important thing in life is the people we love. When one of them is in trouble and we are able to help it feels like a privilege, it is a privilege. The greatest knowledge in the world is knowing that we can 'be there', that we can stand by a family member or friend, even if that is all we can do, even if remedying their situation is beyond our capabilities, to stand by someone in their time of need is what makes us truly human.
Compare this with my dog - I fell over on a walk and was unable to get up immediately because my leg hurt. I lay on the ground groaning while Jazz took full advantage of my incapacity to dart over to the bushes for a good sniff. I, of course, had expected her to react like Lassie!
