SlyIrish: 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?


Ahem! --- look up "Love"

'THE LAW!'

without healthy developed compassion we are lonely and hurt all our lives - regardless of reason, attacks or excuses instead.

compassion is where love begins. lack of it is where love ends.

Distress and pity sound like they are more about the giver than the receiver.

Compassion to me is more about empathy put into action.

I do the best I can but I am for from perfect.

There are a great many people out there that need some compassion that are viewed as less than human by many people. “Untouchable” is not limited to one culture and not a thing of the past.

About the modern “untouchables”?

Think of the way many with Down’s syndrome are viewed. People with a mental illness or dementia. Any population that so-called normal people would say, “I’d rather be dead than live like that!”

Even something as simple as appeance, speach problems, incontinence or a weight problem can make a person seem less than human to some.
