“I think what life experience has brought to my poems is compassion. When you work hard to make a living, raise a child up into the world, fail at marriage and try again, teach and fail, travel and fall, become ill, well again, weak but grateful, you learn patience, forbearance.” ThinkingWorldTryingWellsChildrenHardFallCompassionTeachFailingHard WorkWeakRaisesGratefulIllLife ExperienceTry AgainForbearance Author:Dorianne Laux
“In the name of compassion, Obama advocates seemingly endless extensions of unemployment benefits because his economic theology holds that by paying people not to work, you will create jobs. It not only fails to factor in the obvious deterrent that extended benefits have on their recipients but also falsely assumes that transferring money from one pocket to the next generates more spending - by some mythical multiple factor, no less. Back on planet Earth, studies reveal that extending unemployment benefits results in more unemployment.” PeopleEarthJobsNextNamesResultsCompassionStudyFailingEconomicPlanetsBenefitsAssumingObviousSpendingEndlessTheologyFactorsPocketsMultipleUnemploymentExtensionsPlanet EarthExtendingDeterrentUnemployment Benefits Author:David Limbaugh
“For an act to be moral the intention must be based on compassion, not duty. We do something because we want to do it, because we feel we have to do it, not because we ought to do it. And even if our efforts fail - or we never even get to implement them - we are still moral because our motivation was based on compassion.” IfsWantFeelsStillsMotivationEffortCompassionMoralFailingDutyOughtIntention Author:Arthur Schopenhauer
“If you say, "Woo, woo, woo!" to me, I'll say it back. I love it. "Woo, woo, woo" is something that my character used to say. It's something that my mother used to say to my brother and me when we were kids. When words would fail her, she'd just go, "Oh, woo, woo, woo." It's compassion. It's a combination of "I see you, I feel you, I acknowledge you, I got your back."” IfsFeelsCharacterKidsUsedMotherCompassionFailingBrotherCombinationAcknowledgeMy BrotherGot Your BackAcknowledge You Author:Kim Coles
