Science and Human Compassion ('charity'), by Picasso (aged 16).
Maybe science is cold, maybe it isn't. Maybe religion is loving, maybe it isn't.

Sometimes just one touch, one sympathetic, loving hand on the shoulder from someone you love and respect, can fill you with warmth and life, and give you years of good feeling, years of well-being; it can be a well to constantly draw from. Kindness is good.
