Compassion is something that I’ve been pondering about lately. On the web, there are many definitions, and in the Buddhist sense, compassion is when we notice and empathise with someone who is in distress and strive to lessen his pain. As I grow older, I have come to realise that this is a quality that human beings have in varying degrees, and I would certainly be a bigger person if I could behave in a more compassionate path towards others. Perhaps if I could cultivate more of this quality, it would aid atone in part for my youthful mistakes, for when I was younger, I could be unkind, judgmental and downright mean on occasion. So what does being compassionate mean? More information: more info
