I had to Google compassion because I really didn’t know it’s meaning. It is almost the same as empathy except that you do something. An act of kindness is considered compassion. I learn things all the time.
I started to remember acts of kindness that I have done. I have cooked dinner for friends when they are not feeling well . When someone is feeling down and they just want someone to hear them, I’m all ears. I also leave a person alone when they want and need it. I’ve done many things that I never thought of as being compassionate. I was just helping people.
How many of you are like me? Just doing things to help someone and not thinking about it being compassion. But, it’s nice to know that an act of kindness is compassion. That would mean that most people are compassionate. That is nice to know.
