Compassion is to suffer
for, with, on behalf of another. Compassion is to take on someone else’s suffering for them, to carry the load, to provide
them relief from their burden. Do you remember when someone’s compassion lifted a weight for you? Do you remember when
your compassion eased another’s burden? In those instances, can you remember how it felt? Do you remember the weight?
Do you remember the relief? Such simple action can provide so much relief. Imagine having all the compassion of the universe
to give to others. Remember how it felt to offer compassion to someone in your life and multiply that feeling by ten, by a
hundred, by a thousand. Imagine the compassion you could offer if you hand not but two hands but one thousand hands.
