Lindsey is trying to get motivation for homework
what is compassion? it is defined as: a deep awareness of and sympathy for another’s suffering;the humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it…
compassion is opening your heart to someone, weather it be a child or your mate, or a homless person. compassion is wanting to make changes in the world to make it better.
how can I teach this to others. I feel that i have but it is a never ending process. to truely teach compassion you must have compassion in your heart to begin with. it cannot be taught with words, only actions. it can be as simple as picking up a piece of garbage in the park, or buying the homeless man a warm lunch. or comforting a child who has fallen and scraped thier knee, instead of telling them to buck up and stop crying.
I will continue to lead by example and hopefully someone will learn compassion from my actions.
