“When there's something that impacts a family member or friend, that is difficult for them, you want to do what you can to help. Sometimes you can't do anything and it makes you feel like you're helpless, so those emotions cross a big barometer, but they're a big, broad stroke when it comes to someone who you care about. If you have compassion in your heart, you just care.” IfsWantFeelsHeartSometimesHelpingBigsCareDifficultEmotionCompassionLike YouMembersCrossesImpactBroadsHelplessStrokesFamily MembersBarometer Author:Queen Latifah
“To cultivate compassion, try to remember that others are doing the best they can, just like you, and that when someone does something abusive, they are getting something that they feel is positive from the experience.” FeelsTryingDoeRememberCompassionLike YouAbusive Author:Sharon Gannon
“All religions try to benefit people, with the same basic message of the need for love and compassion, for justice and honesty, for contentment. So merely changing formal religious affiliations will often not help much. On the other hand, in pluralistic, democratic societies, there is the freedom to adopt the religion of your choice. This is good. This lets curious people like you run around on the loose!” PeopleNeedsTryingHelpingHandsRunningChoicesReligiousJusticeCompassionHonestyLike YouBenefitsMessagesDemocraticCuriousContentmentFormalLove And CompassionDemocratic SocietyAffiliation Author:Dalai Lama
