"Compassion is always, at its most authentic, about a shift from the cramped world of self-preoccupation into a more expansive place of fellowship, of true kinship."
Boyle, Gregory (2010-02-14). Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion (p. 77). Free Press. Kindle Edition.
Compassion = kindness, caring, consideration, concern, sympathy, and empathy.
Compassion can show its true form of sincerity when we stop being so fixated with our personal endeavors. Instead broaden our internal emotions to an explosive [volatile] and expandable peripheral outreach.
To establish a connection amid a perceived endless tunnel of self indulgence through compassion’s unsullied light.
Showing compassion does not show our weakness, on the other hand, not showing compassion can show just how weak we are.
A mother showing compassion for her son’s killer is stronger than anyone seeking revenge in order to avenge another’s death.
Pastor G, in spite of possible death, showed compassion, by putting himself daily in harm’s way.
Deficiency of compassion of a once thriving warmth; overtaken from an aloofness inside, calcified of life’s occurrences.
The calcification of hatred and greed melted away from acts of compassionate persistence of one man [ Pastor G.].
We deviate from our innocence of unconditional love, allowing life’s occurrences to daunt our purpose in life.
Both quotes go together, because you can think beyond yourself, think past what your problems are and see how you can help others. If you truly have compassion for others and not a selfish attitude, you will do what you can to help others you see in need. If you can not help your heart can feel burdened, searching for ways you can get help to them.
Can hatred and greed really be used in the essence of one’s own actions… or is the veracity of ignorance a premeditated rationalization of the action!
“If you surrender your need for results and outcomes, success becomes God’s business. I find it hard enough to just be faithful.”
