compassion is the act of caring for another, regardless of who they are, what their creed is or where they come from… etc. i’ve been so numb lately, and so undesiring of human contact that compassion has been far from my list of things to enact in my life. to live compassionately, i need to have a few guidelines.
1 never turn down a plea for help within reason
2 smile at someone everyday, it doesn’t matter who
3 do a favor for someone once or more a day
we’ll see how this works out.

Compassion is a profound human emotion prompted by the pain of others. —Wikipedia
Pain needn’t be only physical; it can be mental, emotional, financial, etc. Also “others” does not have to refer only to humans; one can feel compassion for animals as well. I believe the world’s biggest problems cause the most pain of all types (http://WorldsBiggestProblems.com ). Even worse are the misperceptions and deliberate mistruths about these percieved problems. Here is the list:- Economic Collapse – Zimbabwe is a peek into the future of the United States when all our little green George Washingtons come home to roost. Read Empire of Debt (http://www.amazon.com/Empire-Debt-Rise-Financial-Crisis/dp/047198048X/ ).
- Peak Oil – Peak oil is a scam designed to create artificial scarcity and jack up prices while giving the state an excuse to invade our lives (http://www.prisonplanet.com/archives/peak_oil/index.htm ).
- Water Crisis – The water crisis is caused by the government (http://mises.org/story/1557 ).
- Species Extinction – The government causes species to become endangered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot,_shovel,_and_shut_up ).
- Climate Change – This is one of the world’s biggest problems because we’re being lied to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7wh0hV5tk
What can one man do to allieviate any of these problems? The two major parties benefit from the status quo and will do nothing. As my small part, I will donate what I can to the Libertarian Party (http://www.lp.org/)

i agree, living with compassion is the only way to live and i highly recommend it to anyone who is searching for more meaning and purpose in their lives. my definition of living with compassion is living with an open heart and caring deeply about all others, strangers or not, and trying to do something to help them. what is everyone else’s definition of living with compassion? just to be sure i have actually reached my goal ;o)
It is the ONLY way to live!

And to feel that you are being truly honest with yourself and loving everyone!
i am so proud of my kids.
they are 6 and 3. my daughter is in first grade and has a host of collections at school. she brings in donations for the local food bank every month, they are collecting school supplies to send to mississippi for a school district devistated by katrina, she is buying toys, with her own money, for toys for tots, and my son, who doesn’t even go to school there yet, is joining in too.
my son, (who is finally outgrowing some of his size 24 months pants; i have shrimpy children) told me “these don’t fit me anymore—can we give them to someone who they might fit?”
it does my heart good to see that these values are becoming their own, too. it’s the best christmas gift i could ask for!
i guess i mean living with compassion as how i treat others, and living well as how i treat myself. however, you can’t do one without the other, they are joined at the hip.
do unto others as i’d have them do unto my own children.
i figure i’d be willing to put up with a lot of crap, but i wouldn’t want someone treating my kids or my grandparents that way.
