compassion

And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.

We nurture our own being by respecting all people and consciously working to mitigate the pain of the world.

I want the white one

Compassion is not complete if it does not include oneself.

She'd been taking care of others for so long that she scarcely recognized herself when she looked in the mirror.

I think people believe empathy to be compassion, that compassion is an inner sense (a sense of the soul). But empathy is a sense, while compassion isn't a sense. Empathy is an affinity, a communion, a comprehension. They say that empathy is compassion, but I think that the two are independent of each other. You see, through empathy you will feel what another is feeling, including all those plans for manipulation and persuasion. You will feel everything, not just the parts that make you take compassion for the person, but also all the red flags! You see, empathy is a sense that works with the other senses such as foresight and intuition. So, we can feel compassion but we have to move with empathy.

Compassion is that special ingredient that is often missed, and it makes a difference in building a positive environment.

To mourn is to touch directly the substance of divine compassion.

While pity shows a lack of respect for other human beings, compassion has its roots in a deep respect for others. Pity is an emotion; compassion is a connection. Compassion sees the other as equal. Compassion happens when we care for another person enough to make his or her problems our own.

We all are busy in our lives handling our homes, work, various issues, ailments and so on_ sometimes we don__ have a second to spare even for our own selves, so caught up with life we are_But, despite our problems, despite the pressure of anything, despite all kinds of challenges we face in our daily lives, if we can still just pause and stop to look at someone else__ problems, if we can just smile at the other person, believe me, we would have not only made someone__ day but will also feel that our own burden has become lesser and our problems may not appear to be that big after all! That__ the beauty of caring for others. Have you noticed how much at peace those people are who walk up to a perfect stranger and lend a helping hand, without being asked to and without expecting anything in return? That is what unconditional caring for others and helping others do to you. That is what service, good deeds and kindness do; they help the receiver as well as the giver.

. . . there was something that Isabel had said that always stuck in his mind. Remember what you have and the other person doesn't. It was simple--almost too simple--advice and yet, like all such home advice, it expressed a profound truth.

We numb our minds and heart so one need not be broken and the other need not be bothered.

How do we change the world? By sending out a ripple of love that will affect one person at a time.

See this abdicated beast, once kingOf them all, nibble his claws:Not anger enough left__o, nor despair__o break his teeth on the bars.

Technology offers us a unique opportunity, though rarely welcome, to practice patience.

I appreciate all those who are fighting to stay positive, kind and gentle in the midst of negative people. A single lamp is enough to lighten a room full of darkness; so also one single kind hearted positive person is enough to ward off all the negative, critical and difficult people. Shine on.

We can only come to terms with our own place in the world by compassionately commiserating with the pang of longing that our brethren experience.

So let us recognise our shame and guilt; let us ache with self-reflection; let us eradicate the repetition of suffering and resist anger; let us learn to concretely tend to the suffering of an individual, of our common citizens, with equality; let us learn to live life with honour and dignity and a wealth of humanity.
