Compassion is feeling for the suffereing of another.
It is wanting to share in it with them.
To help them through it.
To open your heart to feel love for them.
To show that they are not alone.
We all live separate and isolated lives to an extent.
Our ego see’s to it that we do.
But there are times when we know we need to lay the ego down.
To open our hearts and feel what another is feeling.
We cannot comfort others without compassion.
We cannot soothe their fears or wipe their tears.
We cannot make them feel safe in suffering without compassion.
Compassion is seeing ourselves within their suffering.
It is making their suffering our own.
We too cannot forgive ourselves without compassion.
Robert.
Robert, compassion always came easily for me. 🙏
