Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Compassion is a practically acquired knowledge, like dancing. You must do it and practice diligently day by day.
I think compassion is an important quality in people in general.
Compassion is the key to living outside the confines of your lower self.
Compassion is loving others enough to say or do what is appropriate from an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome.
Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
I find that in the 21st century, there's not a lot of compassion for what other people are going through or the walk that they have to walk.
We all, I think, believe in compassion. If you look at all the world religions, all the main world religions, you'll find within them some teaching concerning compassion.
Many of us think that compassion drains us, but I promise you it is something that truly enlivens us.
I do some compassionate mindfulness every day. It's like a Buddhist thing. I tell myself that I'm doing a good job, that kind of thing. It makes me feel better.
I try to show compassion to people I come into contact with and try to put good out, as much good as I can. But that's my life; that's not my work. With my work, my job is to walk in another man's shoes.
