We are moved when we see someone hurting, suffering, or feel compassion for people we don't know at all. We have seen evidence of people who will risk their lives for others, for another living creature or for someone they hardly know at all. The seed of kindness and compassion is hardwired in us all.Reaching out and connecting with our others is how we will survive. Nurturing our relationships that provide emotional and physical well-being brings deeper meaning to our lives.
Cooperation, collaboration and compassion is also the basis for survival of other species in nature.
The out pour of emotion and compassion for Jack Layton from Canadians this past week has been is insurmountable. We believed in his dream, his honestly and passion. I was moved by his compassion.
We are not judged by what we do, where you've been,...what you own or where we live. We will be remembered by our compassion, our relationships and our humanity.
Sometimes you hear about something or meet someone who makes you re-think what you do or what you know. In our society, competition, getting ahead, is the message for success. Real success not about competition but about compassion. In nature, species who collaborate and cooperate are the species who succeed.
