“As a direct line to human feeling, empathic experience, genuine language and detail, poetry is everything that headline news is not.

“Nothing helps us build our perspective more than developing compassion for others. Compassion is a sympathetic feeling. It involves the willingness to put yourself in someone else's shoes, to take the focus off yourself and to imagine what it's like to be in someone else's predicament, and simultaneously, to feel love for that person. It's the recognition that other people's problems, their pain and frustrations, are every bit as real as our own-often far worse. In recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our own hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude.” PeopleFeelsTryingHeartPersonsRealFactsHelpingFeelingsProblemPainBitsCompassionFocusImaginePerspectiveGratitudeOffersShoesRecognitionDevelopingFrustrationWillingnessAssistanceRecognizingSympatheticPredicamentsCompassion For OthersOther People's Problems Book:Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Source: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
