True compassion most times is never seen but only felt with the heart. Compassion is being able to slip into the shoes of others when they face hardship or are in need and provide some comfort. The testimony of my life has ALWAYS naturally been to feel empathy for others. Not just people in my family……not just people from india…..not people of my nationality. Everybody! Even when they dont love me! People are doing things for SHOW and only when others are watching. Acts of kindness and generousity should be as natural as breathing but its not. People have adapted to the mindset and focus of WHAT can I MANIFEST instead of WHAT CAN I GIVE. You learn from me too 🌹 yes…… I think sometimes there are those that just dont have a giving spirit…..they like to be on the receiving end all the time. COMPASSION comes in many forms……its not always about money and actually in its purest form has nothing to do with money. Its a concious EXCHANGE of heartfelt empathy that creates an aura that says I CARE ABOUT YOU……I LOVE YOU…..I SHARE YOUR PAIN……WHATEVER I HAVE I SHARE WITH YOU. Many do not want to go there…….to a place of COMPASSION because maybe it affects them and their so called VIBE. We express ourselves differently and sometimes we cant always do the things we used to do when we were younger. Compassionate hearts Alot of times suffer because we are too sensitive and thats just how we are wired……cant be helped. We lost so many lives this year. So many families cryin out and in pain over their loss. It should affect us all. Ultimately we as human beings all have the same make up. But as you know there is much competition in this world that presents itself as the basis for so much division in this world. Instead of being driven by competition we are supposed to be driven by LπŸ’œVE. Alot of people have become angry because they face injustice and unfair cicumstances. Anger is part of being human……its how we can diffuse it that is what we need to master. You get angry too……yes. Also in our world today GREED has manifested itself with no regard for others. Thats SELFISH. We must learn SELFLESSNESS. Look how beautiful the people of THAILAND and others from around the world saved those children. Working together HARMONEOUSLY. Let that bne a good lesson to everyone how Compassion, selflessness and human kindness can ignite a world full of LπŸ’œVE.

i just realized today that i need to be able to show myself compassion first or what i have for others won't be completely genuine.

@levyrol108 says:

He's very confused. I feel sorry for him. He doesn't understand compassion and other basics of Buddhism. He's a bit of a joke really. I'm surprised people don't see through him

@shirandesilva68 says:

We need to be responsible and caring humans towards each other every day I have travelled to world and constantly seeing human suffering increase more each day
