Compassion
When we are ready to open our minds and our hearts, and
know that we can never know everything about any situation which occurs, we can
then see the whole world through different eyes. We are then ready to be humble
and full of humility, reach for the hands of others and great everything and
everyone with a smile. We are then truly compassionate towards one another and
only look at each other with unconditional love.
"Imagine walking along a sidewalk with your arms
full of groceries, and someone roughly bumps into you so that you fall and your
groceries are strewn over the ground. As you rise up from the puddle of broken
eggs and tomato juice, you are ready to shout out: "You idiot! What's
wrong with you? Are you blind?" But just before you can catch your breath
to speak, you see that the person who bumped you is actually blind. He, too, is
sprawled in the spilled groceries, and your anger vanishes in an instant, to be
replaced by sympathetic concern: "Are you hurt? Can I help you up?"
Our situation is like that. When we clearly realize that
the source of disharmony and misery in the world is ignorance, we can open the
door of wisdom and compassion. Then we are in a position to heal ourselves and
others."
