COMPASSION

 To be compassionate is a divine gift, and not easily attained, and yet, each one of us has the ability to be a compassionate person.

Perhaps, what gets in the way of behaving in a compassionate way is the almighty ego!  Our opinion of ourselves can be strong, and very wrong.

We look at the world at large through our own point of view, and easily find fault with the behaviour of others. We judge, believing that what we know is the correct way to behave, etc.

When we take time to reflect, common sense will tell us that we are not perfect by any means, therefore how can we judge the actions of others?

Compassion comes about when we are able to leave ourselves out ot the picture, and open our hearts to the needs of others.  We learn to love.
