Compassion … caring for another … feeling their pain and understanding how they feel. Compassion comes from knowing that at your core you are all the same. Even one who has no understanding of the truths of the Spirit can have compassion for another human, for the human experience is all the same … birth, death, and the celebrations and trials in between.
It is the very presence of Spirit which gives rise to compassion. Human experiences will pass, but compassion remains, for its source is Love, and Love, like the Spirit, is eternal. See your brothers and sisters with compassion. Look upon them with love and honor the Spirit within all.
