I'm hoping with the election to soon be over that we will see a reduction in the ugliness I've been seeing between folks.
I recognize maga as an existential threat. I mean, they're running campaign ads about targeting people like me, it's hard not to. But hate is baggage.
They might hate me but it's not going to keep me from showing up with compassion. I'm hoping that's something we can all unite behind as we put this divisive election behind us.
In order for one to display compassion, one has to have Love within their hearts. For compassion is a byproduct of love and we are witnessing Love in few areas & moments in this world 🌎!
Quite sad but true…
@Soldier_Solitude Thich Nhat Hanh said "A world without suffering, is a world without compassion. A world without compassion is hell"
It's not about enshrining or cherishing suffering, but encountering it can create an impetus to not want to see it perpetuate. This is the birth of compassion
I have experienced hurt so I don't want to see others hurt.
There is a darker path though, rage. It's far to cherished in our time, but it's elevation is all the more reason to embrace compassion.
I agree that a world without compassion is terrible!
This day & age hate and rage are increasing as a byproduct of selfishness! We have to do what we can to ensure that no one suffers.
Sorry…to hear that you have experienced hurt in your life. Hopefully, you have healed from that experience and looking forward to brighter days!
Continue to display compassion for it is priceless!…
Question: what do you base your happiness on?
@Soldier_Solitude The darker the night, the more incumbent it is that we shine with all the compassion in our hearts.
No matter how selfish the age, we each, individually have the power of our own choices.
I base my happiness I'd say off of my faith and practice, calling and family.
How about you?
