somechick: My belief system of compassion is simple.
When some one is sad or unhappy ~ try to feel & understand what they are feeling.
When some one is happy ~ feel their happiness as though the happines is shared between you both.
Compassion is putting yourself in another persons position.
Try to always remember though that you can not truly understand anothers situation until you have walked in their shoes, so to speak.
Compassion is understanding to the best of your abilities what the other person is going through.

Actually, your defining "empathy," not compassion. They're closely related, but empathy is specifically about feeling things from the other person's point of view, whereas compassion is about a sympathetic view of the other person - which doesn't necessarily require understanding that person. For example, I could feel compassion toward an alien being when I had little or no means of knowing what it was feeling.

Compassion is understanding how another person feels, without always the need to take it from them. Sometimes the most compassionate thing to do for someone is to let them feel their pain, not trying to lessen it's impact, for that is how one grows beyond it.

My definition would be similar to yours Ambrose, because I would feel compassion and want to help, or be there if someone else was hurting, whether I liked them or not, and regardless of their situation.
I'd find it impossible to feel someone else's pain (empathy), and never presume to, since personal hurt is relative to individual experience, and try as we might, we never exactly fit anyone else's shoes.
Compassion for me then, is seeing something or someone hurting for whatever reason, and being hurt by the wrongfulness of the situation as much as by the other person's or thing's pain.

In USA compassion is used as an dangerous instrument of manipulation just as individual's non compassion state of mind.
The way it works is to compell individual into over work what consequently makes person less sensitive for others' problems(logically that person overloaded have to take care of her/him self first...then the rest of it..). This situations areeasely reached via extra work hours or assignments.
Afterwords individual is confronted with acting over sensitive audience(directed by psychologists) who claim person's incompasionate state of mind. At his home situation is also hectic due to his family members unable to obtain employment etc.
This situations create opposite poles allover the place and very soon person finds him/her self in a wonder country...asking how and why....
Second shock comes when compelling governmental unemployment therapy kicks in and person is now even blaiming him/herself...shame blame therapy....
This types of life sorroundings, environments, attitudes, work habits, overload and ultimatelly forcefull unemployment create high amplitudes in state of mental health in people who are afterwords ultimatelly brought on knees before church,s oltars, taking volunteral assignemnts with homeless, ending up in desperate situations suiciding/overeating/smoking pot/swollowing medicines suffering in depression etc.
All designed and created by US Gov . !
HAVE I LEFT SOMETHING OUT
ps. I know I did, but what the heck...life is good !
Also...when people reach this state of stupifing new stage begins...that is the one in which person must be now stripped of compassion(it is circle which continues throughout life span of one driving people nuts).
