A Sufi story and some questions

A seeker contemplating countless ill, injured, struggling, fearful, angry and despairing people cried, "Dear God, how can You see such woe and do nothing about it?"

God replied: "I did do something. I made you."

How much - or little - will I give up to help others?
Am I willing to set aside my own issues and just listen, without judgment, to other people?
What does it cost me to extend myself to bring grace into another person's life?
How often am I willing to do so?
