Compassion

 

  Compassion is the art of loving your fellow man and woman, regardless of who they are to you. One who is compassionate will be a crying shoulder for even a stranger. Society for generations has made it almost taboo to be compassionate, be it man or woman. Compassion is something that denotes a strong man or woman. Don't be afraid to show compassion, no matter what they say.

 How does compassion differ from humanity? Where as humanity is treating each other equal, compassion is feeling sorrow for the less fortunate. I'm not telling you to pity people, but to merely show that person some dignity and try your best to help them. As we have covered before, suffering occurs in all of us at one time or another. If you are truly motivated to do anything, it should be to help out others in their pain.  Being compassionate will bring a lot of good karma.

 We've all been there, a tragic mess on our knees begging for someone else's help. Do you remember that time when no one seemed to care about you? Did you ever find that person who would show you any sympathy?  Perhaps not but for you to become whole and know true enlightenment you're going to have to put your ideas and opinions behind and treat everyone as a brother and sister. I guarantee you that it's very rewarding to help one through their problems. It's sort of like mending the wounds of an injured dove. They have a broken wing now but with a little TLC the dove will spread it's wings and fly once more. Remember what that dove looks like as it flies away. A deep lesson in the matters of the heart will be learned each time you extend a helping hand to someone.

 This world can be very cruel. Is it too much to ask every single person to help out at least one other person in their lifetime? If it were such a way, I swear earth would become an utopia. Don't do it for any religious convictions, just throw those out the window. Do it for the condition of your spirit, for you will shine. You'll become a guiding light and grow more conscious of the human condition each and everytime you lend a helping hand. You might even meet a few friends along the way.
 Show some sympathy to those you see. Don't ever shun someone, as always we at bound to the law of karma. When you can put aside your life for a moment to help someone besides yourself enlightenment will become more of a reality.  By pardoning someone else you are in reality pardoning yourself. Not one man or woman is better than anyone else and we need to show compassion to everyone. A compassionate soul is a loving soul. If reincarnation is real by helping out one who is fallen perhaps you are helping that person to the next life.
