Definition of the Free Dictionary (by Farlex)

"compassion
Noun
a feeling of distress and pity for the suffering or misfortune of another"

How much of it do you have?

Just for people you call your friends?

Or do you feel compassion for people you don't like much as well when they fall on hard times?

Or do you, perhaps, laugh behind their backs, or mock them?

Is that something that makes you feel better for yourself?

How compassionate are you?

I like to think that I am very compassionate to everyone.I care about my fellow human beings and hate seeing all the insults that fly in and out of here,which is why I sometimes bat for the other side in any injustice. Everyone has a story to tell, and we should try listening instead of bashing.

I'm also a great animal lover.Ask all the stray animals that live near me and come sit outside the "soup kitchen" called my home.hug

Thanks for your kind words.I think that this is the trouble these days,we have all forgotten how to be nice to each other.Even though people have gone from this site, they still get talked about in a derogatory fashion by some members who are unable to let go.How sad is that. If we ALL had more compassion the world would be better for it.wave

I hate to see anyone suffer or have a hard time. I don't care who you are, even my ex-husband. I wish no misery on anyone. I believe what comes around goes around.
When we delight in other people's misfortune, it has a negative impact on our body as well (whether we realize it or not).
I wish for everyone to have true happiness in their lives. applause

yes it is but i think we all like to believe we are, but it's not until its tested in a practical sense that we really know how far we would go to help someone we don't know or like jmo wine
