Compassion

Compassion, this word is used a lot when we talk about illness, death, mental problems, physical defects--we must have compassion for the less fortunate around us. I think that showing compassion--giving the gift of compassion--is a wonderfully life giving behavior. Both for the giver of compassion and the receiver. We all know when we want or need compassion from people--but, do we always recognize when compassion needs to be given. It may be our best friend's, mother's death--but it could also be a stranger on the street.

Holding the door for someone that is just not quite up to par may be showing them the compassion they need right at the moment the need it most. If we go about life with only our needs and wants in the for front of our minds--we will miss valuable opportunities to show compassion. Believe me--we get in an equal proportion to what we give.

Giving out compassion on a regular basis makes me a more caring and care giving person--that is a good goal. Give compassion where it is needed and you will be rewarded in very real ways.

Have a wonderful Thursday.

Take care,
