Word of the Day~ Compassion

Compassion is:
Believing in someone even if they don't give you a reason to.
Wishing others to be free from suffering and extending the wish to all without limits.
Extending your love even when there is no reason to.
Praying for others.
Taking a moment to listen unbiasly.
A simple smile to a stranger.

Conor Oberst says:
"I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health.  I said, 'There is nothing I can do for you that you can't do for yourself.'  He said, 'Yes you can.  Just sit and hold my hand. I think that would help.' So I sat with him for while then I asked him how he felt.  He said. 'I think I'm cured.'

William Cowper says"
"Man may dismiss compassion from the heart, but God never will."

Hubert Humphrey says:
"Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism."
