I Like a Good Quote

"Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words"

Rainer Maria Rilke

Great compassion comes from great sorrow. It comes from great perspective and great joy too.

Or when little kids feel compassion it comes from God.

This is deep and true though I often wonder if compassion can be independent of past suffering. My wish is to reach that stage as a society where suffering and struggle can make one kinder and stronger but are not necessary to be compassionate.

That is a beautiful thought, my friend. And, I think, beautifully, painfully, true sometimes.

I need to respect the words that sometimes flow my way. It's easier to think on their worth than on their cost.
