Compassion


Compassion is not just an understanding of the emotional state of another. It is much more! Compassion goes beyond understanding or identifying with someone's troubles, it is actually DOING something. If we have compassion we act on the feeling and help. Too many people stand by and watch. Too often we pay lip service to the troubles of our world. Compassion challenges us to do...volunteer at an animal shelter, work with the local food bank, sponsor a family in need...DO SOMETHING! If enough of us start to show real compassion think of the difference we could make in the world! TJS

  1. Compassion is a perfect trait because it is never selfish, it only shows love, understand and the ability to feel something for someone or something other then yourself.
