Compassion

Be kind and merciful [compassionate]. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier.   - Mother Teresa





I am beginning to understand the profound wisdom in Mother Teresa's simple words. To be kind is to be generous with our time and resources coupled with compassion (feeling). It means to take into
consideration the burdens that our neighbors, world wide, carry...

To me this translates first with basic care of the one body I have so that I will have the spiritual and physical strength to demonstrate compassion. To be mindful of my dietary and economic choices so as not to harm neither the earth nor living beings cumulating in actions of goodwill.
