  7. Compassion is the key element to living together on this planet. We feel, we understand, we care for others. There is perhaps no stronger emotion. I wonder, is it also a potential folly to tend too easily toward compassion?

  8. I feel like i have a lot of compassion, but none. I feel overwhelmed and helpless with compassion, but some days i want to tell you to jump off a bridge. I just don’t understand. The world would be a terrible place with out it though. Without suffering, there is no compassion.

  9. I think people need a little more compassion these days. It’s so hard to find someone who is genuinely kind and thoughtful to others. What is compassion? Is it something you find in the store, or in the crevice in the kitchen?

  12. Compassion. I have some of it. But a lot of times people don’t. Compassion is when you give people things that they really, quite frankly, don’t deserve. You’re setting the better example, and being a trend setter, because for the most part people just don’t have compassion at all. Compassion is a character trait. You may develop it, earn it, inherit it, or just learn that way, because that’s the way your parents always acted, and so that’s how they treated you. And they raised you that way. But then again, you might have developed it yourself. It might be something that you learned to love, but it also might be something that you learned to hate. I believe that everybody deserves a second chance, and that would be my choice.

  14. It’s that kind thing that one person gives to another. It’s kindness and mercy but it’s given in a way that it will only benefit the one being shown it. The benefactor simply enjoys the fact that he brought happiness to another’s face. Compassion is something everyone deserves, but almost no one gets.

  16. compassion is a great hting, and it is absolutely wonderful… it seperates us from the animals and it is all about love and passion for somehting, if you do not have passion, then compassion is useless and meaningless to you,… the world is all about compassion and it doesn’t matter what you have compassion for as long as its for a good thing and it is so absolutely important and wonderful.

    Just fucking feel it
    That right there? That hurt?
    Imagine that feeling all the time.
    Feel this with me

  21. or lack thereof. human compassion is seldom seen on a regular basis. we hear these stories that restore our faith in humanity every once in a while. it needs to multiply. how great of a world would this be if this was a rule, an unspoken thing that people lived by, constantly?

  23. Compassion is something you need, you little snitch. How do you walk through life without it. Even though you have seen the foul things in war and in your own neighborhood you still lack this great feeling.

  24. To feel pure compassion is a feeling that takes forever to find. Compassion is finding something you truly love and enjoy. It is a life long feeling.

  25. It was something I’d alway wanted. To look in the eyes of someone I loved and feel pure compassion. But that takes a life time to find, if you’re lucky enough to find it. Without love and compassion, life is nothing.

  26. awww, I hugged her when she came out of the bathroom, and her smile was small and insecure, but her personality is so big, and her brown leather jacket fits perfectly tight, and she holds her shoulders a certain way, pushed forward. Never drank in her life, tight as a tight thing lala can be

  27. Feeling, welling up, tears of sympathy, a swelling in the chest, a tingling in the limbs. Arms reaching out, embracing, soothing, safe. Open, generous

  28. The river just kept on going – the parts of the boat that floated swirled and spun in the turbulence and raging white of the underlying dark – the birds continued calling in the surrounding trees and the hawk stooped

  29. I could see the compassion in his eyes, He really didn’t want to have to say what he was saying, but, well … this is what it had come to. It was time to let go, time to move on. He cared, and he cared a great deal, but circumstances were standing in the way.

  33. there was no compassion in the night air. it was thick as a vaccum and sucked us into each other. the rain started but we were already at his apartment. the time, other people, the pills we had taken, they didn’t matter. we didn’t care. we were no one but we were everybody.

  34. Compassion is the key to forgiveness. Christ, it’s bloody overrated. It’s an awful gift that most Indian givers hand out.

  35. Your compassion is the same as mine. You feel what I feel.
    We have been trained.
    If you do not feel sorrow for him or pity for her, you are programmed wrong. We have been told if we do not feel this for that, there is something wrong in us, that our emotions, that we ourselves, are not valid.
    We are taught to have the same brains, hearts, souls, to feel the same things, but that, still, we must be unique.

  36. love, christ. the thing i love the most. going to mexico, going to africa. a feeling that evokes an action. hannah porter. aj skiles. animals and rescue centers. 30 hour famine. the best thing ever. youth with a mission

  38. When she stood up with her books clenched in her hands and her milk spilled all over the cold linoleum hallway floor, all she could see was compassion in his eyes. The custodian took out his mop and came toward her with the assurance that everyone makes mistakes.
