Some say compassion is weakness. It is being aware of suffering and committing to taking helpful action. - fire fighter running towards burning house - comforting terminally ill friend - standing up for yourself when oppressed Nothing “weak” about it!

Compassion is an awareness of suffering and a commitment to trying to prevent or alleviate it. Not enough compassion is the greatest challenge humanity faces. And increasing compassion is the greatest asset humanity could choose.

We need patience to protect our peace of mind, our compassionate mind. Patience is part of our defence, as is forgiveness. Enemies and troublemakers are helpful in that they give us the opportunity to exercise patience and forgiveness.
