Hi. Compassion comes from the hart, Not self gratification. For me. When i help someone who's in need or give them what a person been seeking. Because, within my self, "i guess "that's my nature, it's sometimes My down fall also, because, Without knowing? I tend to help the wrong people, and knowing the real difference in having compassion for people who really need the help. It gives me a warm feeling in side. Every time.

I remember Thinking about this guy in paticular, he was very set in his ways and had a lot going for himself, and he use to say to me "all the time" I'm so blessed" GOD is blessing me with all of my valuables and having everything i could want,

Now there's nothing wrong with haveing what you need,

He made one statement In paticular, Again" I'm so blessed, I'm so blessed that I took my Children to the shelter just to show them that how blessed we are, you don't ever want to get this point in your life. I asked him" Did you offer anything to the homeless shelter? He said no", I asked why? He said because they don't deserve anything that's giving, they have to earn it.

Recently I heard from him, He had a terrible stroke and went bankrupt, he has lost everything, and he stated i was so ungrateful to those people who did'n have anything and i judge them, (I guess there where the ones that was blessed all the time).

I do think some of forget where we come from.

I never forget my parents were blue collar workers. My father worked in the factors in Springfield, vt and we lived the projects of springfield and then moved on.. My mom was a nurse's when nurse's weren't really acceptate.

We always give back to food panlets too. Sorry for my spelling I have dislegize and I am sorry for that..

So thank you for all you do for everyone.

compassion, while for some may be defined in a infinite way, I draw upon the experiences of compassion I have received and been able to express. Ultimately for me it is being of love, knowing that while we error, we also can forgive, and be forgiven, while we may often take disrespect from the actions of others, to uphold our own respect for self and others is more important, and to be true to the actions and words we choose to live by in love and with love. Ultimately for me love is compassion and compassion is love. peace all...

thank you. Like all you say too. I agree with you too.

Just wishing to share on your thread, nice to participate on such a warm subject. Hope you are doing well...

We are doing little bite better. Still no, jobs yet for my husband but I have hopes and I am not going to let that go
