For your consideration...

The street I live on has many beautiful homes and people who care about them. All of the homes on my street matter.

But if one of them catches on fire, that home matters more.

Or I can decide to do nothing because I believe that all homes matter equally and I don't really see that a house is on fire at all.

What would you do if the home that is on fire is directly next to your house?

If you weren't concerned before would you be concerned now?
