Pema Chodron (Buddhist):
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognise our shared humanity
Why bring "belief" into it? Why divide the world into "believers" and "unbelievers"?
To do so is to take one step away from compassion and genuine empathy.

Uh-huh. Right. It's so obviously practiced. No pretense or hypocrisy there. All of that is forgiven.
@AkioTsukino You can't even do being a Christian right 😂

Amen! Love this guy's teaching- my daily bible is the reformation study bible from him.
