compassion

The people are suffering. Relieving people__ poverty ought to be handled as though one were rescuing them from fire, or saving them from drowning. One cannot hesitate.

There's something so quietly contained in the moments when one reaches their hand out to support your tragedy. It's hardly ever spoken about, but the feeling of belonging to somewhere, or someone for a split second, gives you enough power to carry on a few more steps. When the world is full of compassionate people like this, the world will know Unconditional Love.

The greatest thing a human being can do is to be compassionate to humanity.

If we love unconditionally just like our Creator, we will awaken of the goodness in souls.

Happiness is an inner perception. It comes from simplicity, kindness, love, and compassion.

...that tender compunction of the honest-minded, so different from the hateful intoxication of criminals...

It is unfortunate that for some, kindness is an unwarranted expenditure, compassion an avoidable weakness, and love an unnecessary gamble.

Have compassion for your past. By showing love to the present. Your past was just the portal to now.

Storms don't come to teach us painful lessons, rather they were meant to wash us clean.

A best friend is the one person that doesn't leave you worse off by their actions or yours.

When your goal is not fame or notoriety, you can simply show up, offer compassion to people, and let God do His work.

You may possibly become rich by just caring about yourself and what you want to gain from life but you cannot possibly enrich the lives of everyone you meet that way. The pathway to enlightenment and transformation and liberation is the heart not the mind.

In that moment, the moon and the sun shared the sky. For all of eternity, the moon and sun have chased each other around the world. Long into the future, they will continue this chase, merging the days into months into years into centuries, until the day the sun cannot take the separation any longer and she shatters, engulfing the moon and everything else in a burst of light. Most will call it the day of final judgment. The end. To the sun and the moon, it will only be the beginning.For the smallest of instants each day, they pause in this chase. They pause and look back at one another, smiling as if sharing a secret. Two lovers that can never exist as one, except in that single, brief instant. Lying there, Persephone smiled too. And as quickly as a smile parts two lips, the two sky wanderers parted ways. The chase was on again. Night gave way to day.That is true love, she had always thought. No force but love can impel one to step willingly into the shadows so that the other may shine.

Being kind, being compassionate, being respectful does not make you weak. More often, it's the harder path to take.

The rich never have a chance of being neighborly to their equals. The best they can do is feel mawkish about the sufferings of their inferiors, which they can never begin to understand, and to be patronizingly kind.

Requiring accountability while also extending your compassion is not the easiest course of action, but it is the most humane, and, ultimately, the safest for the community.

True happiness isn't a disruption-free life, its learning to recognize the ever-present contentment amidst the disruptions of life. Go with the flow(non-resistance), and when you struggle, remember to be compassionate with yourself...

Those moral laws on which all human excellence is founded__ love of truth in ourselves, and a sincere sympathy with our fellow-creatures.
