What happened to the good old days, when people felt something for other people? When families banned together with their neighbors in a time of need, and everyone helped everyone else out. What has changed so much about the human race that we can no longer offer understanding to another who’s faced with a difficulty. When we can’t help an elderly person by cutting their grass or even bringing them a hot meal? What has happened to make ours a culture of such purposeful indifference, ignorance, and indecency- that we no longer care about the family that is losing their home, or helping out the person who has been looking for work for months with no luck, but instead pay attention to the most vile and clearly degrading, flagrant and subliminal messages that are thrown at us all day long? How can we return to the state of cultural cadence that we once knew? What will our future be like without it?
On my journey to become the best person that I can be, I have become ultra sensitive to how often we take for granted the well known fact that having compassion for others is necessary in order to become the highest and best form of yourself. It is the left arm of love, the one that is always eager to help another. Compassion comes from passion, the kind that loves all mankind. Compassion is the passion of Jesus. It can be such a blessing too! Compassion is also a boomerang. It will surely come back to you when you need it most, as all positive emotions can. But the best part is that you can receive its full benefit with no strings attached…from a stranger- after only having done the one work of giving it to another.
This is very true & heart warming . We should have more compassion amongst each other because that is what we would expect from each other. Without mutual compassion, we are setting ourselves up for nothing but negative energy & bad karma!
