Is compassion an old fashioned concept? When was the last time you felt compassion? When was the last time you displayed some ? I don't mean sadness and i don't mean pity. I mean compassion. It's no coincidence that thw word compassion includes that feeling based word passion " A desire to alleviate suffering"
SO- have you felt it lately?

" We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread.They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way."
So, if you can look at the world with an attitude of compassion in the next week- what will you notice? What will you do? What will you seek to change? What are you waiting for?Marie x
