compassion

Without compassion for a fellow man, for great splendors of our Sister, Mother Earth the humankind will never reconcile with itself.

Look every creature from the window of compassion with the eyes of love!

He taught me that it's okay to be a star, but to never forget that there are millions of other stars out there waiting for someone to recognize them for what they are - to treat people as if they too are important, special, and full of light.

You want to see compassion? Fine." I take the hand pressed against my shoulders and kiss his knuckles. "I've now kissed the hand of my mother's killer."Before he has time to react to my chaste kiss, I bring my other hand up and slap him. His head whips to the side."I'm also a vindictive bitch," I say.

It probably takes many years of monastic practice to equal the spiritual growth generated by one sleepless night with a sick child.

The day you find out who you are is when you look back and realize that it was never the words, rather your actions that defined you.

Empathy is a hand thick with scars offering you a bandage.

A person__ attitude creates the tone of his or her life. The highest expression of human dignity is to live a purposeful life devoted to principles and exhibiting compassion for other people.

People will come to test and divide us, but, as long as we keep compassion in our hearts for others, they won't win.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.

There are times that all you need is someone who will listen to you without judging you

Transition isn't pretty, but stagnation is hideous.

Once a person falls in the fields of love, all the rules are already broken; the lover becomes open and exalted in ways that transcend the local issues as well as the commonly held beliefs. Love, like genuine devotion, will find a way. Where duty becomes replaced with love, a greater and deeper faith will blossom forth. For the deepest meaning of __elief_ refers to being loyal to what the heart already loves. As people used to say, __hat the heart loves is the cure._ The cure for healing the wounds and conflicts between faiths and systems of belief involves awakening to the unique ways that each heart carries devotion and love. When followed far enough, simple belief can transform into wisdom; raw passions can become a greater compassion that trusts what resides in one__ heart and even in the hearts of others. Until the heart opens and the eyes begin to see there is always the danger of blindness and narrowness and the tendency to hold onto narrow ways of being.

Choose empathy over apathy.

The advice to "kill your darlings" has been attributed to various authors across the various galaxies... and Mister Heist hated them all.Why teach young writers to edit out whatever it is they feel most passionate about?Better to kill everything in their writing they DON'T love as much.Until only the darlings remain.

Compassion Enlivens us and enhances our immune system. The more we pour out, the more we find available.

A common mistake people make is assuming compassion requires some kind of action they__e not ready to take. In other words, if I feel compassion for this dangerous, havoc-wreaking person (or for my tedious co-workers, the guy who cut me off in traffic, my abusive parents, that politician, etc.) then I__l have to drop everything I__ into and go hug and try to heal or help...or...do something I don__ know how to do. Not so. Compassion begins within; the compassion you have for yourself will guide you to act or detach with regard for your own well-being.

See life and feel its pulses with the eyes of a compassionate mother.
