I don’t think I’ve really been thinking about this as much as I’d like to. So I’ve no real idea of whether I’m doing it or not. Interest.

It’s easier to be compassionate when you feel yourself to securely have the upper hand (though probably a lot of the time pity is a better word for that). But when you feel someone to be in a more ‘fortunate’ position, and you don’t like what they’re making of it, then compassion doesn’t come so naturally! I still prefer this state of affairs to having the upper hand too easily over someone I like and respect but worry might be completely losing it.

I am so far from compassion I can barely type the word

I mean towards myself and towards others, but I think they go hand in hand. It’s always easier to denounce something/someone as bad or wrong rather than to consider the situation more openly. I felt this was going quite well up until the last week. I’ve gotten very angry this last week!
