Just curious. (85)
Compassion for me is not caring who is right or wrong. But taking the time to listen.

Arlene101: I seriously think you should write one. I mean that from the bottom of my heart and foot. I sure as hell would buy it and make all my friend buy it also.
I AM writing one....
It has been on hold for a year, I simply get to frustrated with mom.
I guess I need to read the bottom of page 87 a little more often..

Caring, but really, more than that. Unconditional caring, and, somehow lessening the stress for the person needing the understanding. Caring enough to overlook any negatives because the current situation for that person is so bad. This is kind of a deep one. The definitions can go on and on and be different for different situations and people. Here's a thought on what could be regarded as "compassion". A woman is having a terrible time at home with a chilly marriage, troubled kids, etc...She has to work, and it's a good job. She is late for work several times a week and into the second week. It is not the type of job one can or should be late for. There is a firm policy on tardiness; others have been terminated for it. Her boss is completely within reason to let her go. He does not. I see this as an example of 'compassion'. Certainly not definitive of the term, however.------ This thread is Archived ------

Amen to that. To truly listen to someone else without throwing our opinions and attitudes towards them while they are trying to tell us how they fell. I believe we gain a better insight into that persons feelings as well as our own.
I have posted this in other threads and I will say it again. I believe we learn about ourselves through other people. Unfortunately some people never really stop to actually listen to the gift they are given. When someone tells me something personal I see that as a gift. They trust me enough to know I will keep it to myself. And within my self it will stay.
Oh crap! I went off again sorry about that.

You are right. I am very happy to have met you.
I tend to be more implosive than explosive.
I have learned allot about myself from this thread and others we have shared.
If I may be so bold. May I call you my friend?

somechick: Can anyone tell me what the word Compassion means?
Compassion is simply a desire to help a person in distress.And it is primarily aimed at ourselves - our humanity, our understanding and place in society.

When he cheats on you, you can put yourself into his shoe and feel his pain, then forgive him and ofcourse, take him back

I wonder, is the the prayer "FOR" St. Francis or the prayer "OF" St Francis??
