Dear Room,
The dictionary says that compassion means deep sympathy, pity.
I feel compassion for any family who loses a loved one, no matter the circumstances. Sometimes the compassion is felt so deeply by me that I cry along with the people who are grieving or sometimes I am able to comfort them and give them a shoulder to cry on when they feel the need for one.
I feel compassion for families of children who are somehow swept from their lives by acts of violence and murder. Sometimes when this happens these things are far away and all I can do is pray for the families who suffered the loss of a child or children. But I believe that prayer is a very powerful thing and when sent out they do help in some way those they are sent for.
I feel compassion when I see someone I love hurt by others words and actions of others and wish deep down I could take away that hurt and they would not have to suffer, but all I can do is comfort them and let them know that I am there for them and try to help them through their feelings with love and comfort. I cry with them and I later laugh with them when the crisis passes and they learn to be independent of others hurtful ways.
Compassion is something I feel almost everyday in someway for people whose stories are in the news, for people I know, for my family and for many events that happen everyday around the world. When I cannot help directly I pray for them and I know my prayers are heard.
Love in Light and Peace,
