Compassion-True Treasure of the Heart


Compassion is two words with co-meaning of strong feelings. It is the sympathy we show with warmth and for the bad misfortunes of others. Human compassion is boundless. It provides hope and empowerment. We all need love and compassion to be happy. True compassion means not only feeling ones pain but being moved to help relieve it.

Compassion is a true tradition. I believe in honesty, equality, kindness, and compassion. Helping those in need by showing compassion is a true traditional character or core value. Compassion is giving and receiving.

It is hard to practice compassion when we are off-balance with our own authenticity. Don’t get stuck with ego. We all have different purposes. Love and compassion unfolds it. This day and time we often put people status above their more important qualities. Long letters and degrees after someone’s name do not guarantee kindness, compassion, or humor- the important qualities.

Compassion and kindness are true treasures of the heart. We need Compassion to change the conditions that support our suffering like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, and holding on. Compassion is the capacity to be attentive to others experiences, to wish the best for others, and what will serve others. At the end of the day, love and compassion will win out.

We all lean toward love. Pets have more love and compassion than most humans. Compassion is a knowledge acquired by daily practice. Compassion and forgiveness are not our storyline in the present time. People who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion.
