Americans in general have a lot of compassion, we just don't always have the same view of how that compassion is implemented.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Compassion is not defined in one form. There's no Indian compassion. There's no American compassion. It transcends nation, the gender, the age. Why? Because it is there in everybody. It's experienced by people occasionally.
I think compassion is an important quality in people in general.
This idea of compassion comes to us because we're made in the image of God, who is ultimately the compassionate one.
America is a giving nation and very compassionate.
We're a migrant nation made up of people who've been torn out of other worlds, and you'd think we would have some compassion.
As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.
No deep and strong feeling, such as we may come across here and there in the world, is unmixed with compassion. The more we love, the more the object of our love seems to us to be a victim.
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.
Most of us are shrinking in the face of psycho-social and physical poisons, of the toxins of our world. But compassion, the generation of compassion, actually mobilizes our immunity.
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.
