Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate

In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see. -Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate (b. 1928)

I agree entirely, but I wonder how widespread the sentiment is these days, or how long it will persist in our post-modern age. It seems to me that the prevailing philosophical currents don't support it.
