your daily rock : show compassion

August 31, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

Compassion, like love, is unconditional.

Otherwise, it’s not compassion, is it?

Showing compassion for people who argue with you, who spout awful things on Facebook, who hurt you–that’s the real work.

Showing compassion for people who agree with you, who post beautiful things on Facebook, and who would never hurt you is easy.

Show compassion, unconditionally.

Love,
