COMPASSION
For humans,
'survival of the fittest' is not about physical strength.
Our survival muscle is made of Compassion.
Compassion creates the strength & ability to care for each other.
Humans do not survive by physical might or competition.
This section is about the Strengthening and Empowering Your Super Power of Compassion:
*What compassion is
*The benefits of compassion (including the freedom to not be enveloped in the problems of the world)
*Removing obstacles to compassion
*The security and opportunities compassion creates
*How compassion (or the lack of it) operates as a boomerang.
Compassion increases your motivation, insight, courage, and joy, despite any pain in your life or in the lives of others. Compassion is like your super power. It gives you the ability to feel emotions for others and for yourself, and at the same time strengthen your ability to create life beyond the current experience. Motivation is embedded in compassion.
When you access and enhance your compassion, you protect yourself from being pulled into frustration or hopelessness. Compassion is not so much something you create, but a power you access, when you remove any obstacles that are blocking you from it. Sometimes we are aware of the importance in intentionally opening ourselves up to compassion. But often we wait for compassion, as if it will just show up for us.
You are the only person responsible for your compassion. When you intentionally stay tuned into compassion, it guides you in understanding both the emotional and practical ways to move your life purposes forward. The amount of compassion’s power in your life is up to you. If you don’t have compassion for someone, it is not because of them, it is because of you. Without compassion, you can be bogged down under the problems of the world. But with compassion, you are compelled into deeper insights, hope, and the motivation to act – all in alignment with realistically possible solutions. The point of compassion is to inspire and motivate the best of ourselves and make living in this world a wonderful experience for everyone!
What is Compassion!?!
The Dalai Lama describes Compassion as, “a totally unbiased mind that wishes for the liberation of all sentient beings from suffering and cannot be mistaken for pity, which may have a connotation of superiority towards the object of compassion."
Compassion is different than Empathy or Pity. Empathy is, in part, the ability to understand the perspective of another. Pity is emotional sorrow towards someone. Compassion means to feel with, or feel together, and it creates a motivation from the feelings experienced. You experience compassion when you see and allow yourself to feel into another’s experience. Compassion motivates you to act in order to relieve their pain, or embrace their joy, or both – depending on the situation. You can also experience compassion for your younger self in earlier times. Some ingredients in compassion include honesty, respect, acceptance, humility, and reverence.
Compassion is like a boomerang. As you strengthen and empower compassion, it strengthens and empowers your life’s meanings and purposes.
Here are 6 Ways to Strengthen & Empower Your Compassion:
#1- Expand your orientation to compassion.
Compassion is not so much something we create as it is something we enter in to. As such, you want to find and expand your personal and unique doorway into compassion. This will expand your personal energy and motivation.
Compassion can be for yourself and for others. For yourself, it is in valuing your life, and all the steps (including the mistakes) you have encountered along the way. These steps have gotten you to where you are now, and where you are going. Have compassion for the person you were at each point in your journey. This helps to heal any lasting effects that do not serve you now. In every step, you have been doing your best with the tools and understandings you had at that time.
Compassion towards others builds your power and your creativity so that you can expand the orientation of your life beyond just your own life. Compassion expands the territory of your opportunities to create joy, purpose, and meaning – by creating them in both your own life and every other life as well.
Buddha said, "All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?" This is the doorway to compassion. This violence that Buddha refers to can be physical, emotional, mental, or anything that is not what you want others to do to you, or anything that is not in accord with love. We become more compassionate when we sense (with love), the experience of another, or of our own past selves.
Compassion actively brings meaning and purpose into your experience, no matter if your compassion is witnessed by others or not. Compassion actively takes place within yourself. By virtue of its existence, compassion makes a difference within you. It lets love pour through you, regardless of any positive or negative feedback from others. It is similar to unconditional love - it is not controlled by, or overpowered by, reactive feedback.
Compassion is a super power. This power gives you insight, energy, encouragement, and motivation to see beyond what you thought were limits to problem solving. The power and wisdom of compassion have no limits.
When you activate compassion, it increases the health of your mind, your emotions, and your life. It increases the health in the lives of those around you. This strengthens your ability to make decisions for yourself and for others according to what is most beneficial for all life. This enriches all of your experiences.
As you expand the territory of your compassion, your power, wisdom, joy, and awareness of life expand. Whatever obstacles are limiting your compassion are unnecessary baggage you are carrying. You have the power to let go of anything you thought was in the way of your ability to care about every life.
#2- Protect Your Compassion from outside influences.
Your ability to be compassionate is not dependent on anything outside of yourself. You limit your compassion and ability to creative meaningful solutions, if you believe compassion for others or for yourself must be earned, or that compassion must be given according to the cause of the situation. Compassion motivates you towards solutions. It is not decided by, or limited by, the causes of problems. While it may seem foolish to have compassion for people who are enveloped in the problems of this world (problems such as hatred, violence, divisiveness, or selfishness), having compassion is a key that sets you free from being enveloped in the problems of this world.
When what you see is painful, be aware that it can be difficult to lay aside blame and judgment. But, blame and judgement are aggressive and destructive. The less your compassion is controlled by the external, the more powerful and assertive your compassion becomes. You decide what controls your compassion.
We need compassion, in order to create assertive paths to solutions. If you see anyone as ‘less than’ another, for whatever reason, this is your own pain coming to the surface to be seen, and to be filled with compassion and love; otherwise, this pain will block you from being compelled into your best life. Compassion is a light, destroying the darkness, guiding you on the path of your best life, a life that is beneficial to all lives, regardless of circumstance.
When you experience difficult emotions for yourself or for someone else, keep your compassion strong. Compassion is wise. Compassion understands the roots of problems. Pain, combined with compassion, leads you to increased motivation, insight, and creativity in understandings problems and creating compassionate changes and solutions. However, pain without compassion eventually hits a brick wall of despair, helplessness, & destruction - the suffering that comes from a lack of compassion.
#3 – Let go of obstacles blocking you from compassion’s creativity in your life. Compassion does not exist conditional to factors of cause and consequence. This does not take away fault, responsibility, or cause. But de-coupling compassionate solutions from judgement or blame of a person or group of people gives you freedom from less than sanctimonious righteous certainty. In other words, judgement against a person blocks your mind. It limits you from using compassion’s expanded perceptual territories to be creative in developing meaningful solutions.
Let go of focusing on blame. Blame blocks your insight. If you were in the other person’s shoes, you would have all the roots that brought them to this moment. When your heart is filled with compassion for all sufferers (whether it appears to be suffering they caused, or not), you are (ironically) emotionally and intellectually free from what you would otherwise think was limiting or controlling of your compassion.
Compassion has no use for blame. You are the sole person responsible for your degree of compassion's motivations and manifestations in your life. If someone is suffering and you think they caused their own suffering, you still cannot blame them for your lack of compassion for them. If your compassion is limited or controlled by judgement, you are the one limiting the power of your compassion. You thereby limit your own opportunities to share in purposeful compassionate solutions and to create your own internal joy.
Is there a limit to your compassion? No! It is simply you tapping into the fabric that all life grows its roots from and into! When you tap and flow in compassion, you are free from emotional attachment to (dependency on) the things that cause problems and division. You can then be secure to feel the pain of others. Their pain becomes as important as your own; but it does not take away any of your strength. In fact, feeling this increases your motivation and emotional strength. The joy of others becomes as joyful to you as your own joy.
Compassion can guide you, and show you the enormous potential for the impact and power of your life with every life. There is an infinite full picture to see, and compassion helps us appreciate this bigger picture.
#4 – We must learn the lessons Nature teaches us about compassion.
Nature teaches us about the simplicity and complexity of mutual connections, and about how to create compassionate solutions. Each life is having a unique experience in its physical body. In Nature, we see that each of our experiences are totally connected - not severed by having separate physical bodies. Your strength is in your interdependence with the web of life. The more intertwined the roots of trees are with each other and with the land, the stronger the individual tree. You are a part of Nature. Your life, including your love, is interwoven with all of life. This is true for every person, every group, and every subgroup. Everything you do, everything you are, impacts the environment. This is literal and factual. We are born into bodies that are able to nourish other life. If an animal ate you, your body is able to become its nourishment. In the end, your body can nourish the soil of the earth. You are born interconnected - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually with all of life. You Are life, nourishing life.
In Nature, no life is able to survive alone. Each life evolves from subsystems that evolved from the collective of all life, systems that include, but are not limited to human life. The more intertwined your compassion is with all life, the stronger you are.
As humans, our Interdependence and our Compassion strengthen each other. This is the ethics of compassion, and it can be witnessed in nature. In nature, compassion helps our evolution. It creates an intelligence, letting us feel and better understand the nature that we are a part of.
Compassion’s intelligence can guide your evolution, if you let it. Through nature, we have access to so much information! But if we refuse to feel for the lives we touch, we make ourselves weak & ignorant, and we become self-destructive.
How does your life nourish the world? What fruit grows from your life? Look at your lifestyle and habits clearly. Know what is nourishing your joy, and what does not satisfy your appetite to uplift all life. To experience joy, feed others by growing the fruit of your life from compassion, wisdom, and love. Be emotionally available to listen with your heart to others’ hearts - they are asking you to see the consequences of your choices. When you are open to compassion, you can be trusted. Compassion gives you the motivation and courage to align your thoughts and behaviors with reverence, honoring your deep interdependence with all life. Rather than being hungry for connection, you can be full of compassion and stay motivated.
In nature, being with and feeling compassion towards others creates healing. This interconnection with others is not limited in the ways we tend to think it is. If you are alone in the woods, or on a mountain, or on the sea, you can still experience compassion actively working within you. When you think you are alone, in nature or otherwise, your compassion makes you know you are never alone.
#5 – Value emotional security - for your own life and every life.
Compassion increases your emotional security. The stronger your compassion is, the more you can sense security in our interdependency. This guides you in asserting honest connections, and in making wise decisions. You increase your emotional intelligence when you know that what you do to any life, you do to yourself.
We all value security. We cannot have security in a sustainable way at the cost of another’s security. It is a matter of fact that the well-being of each life is interdependent with the collective well-being. This is not an idea or a theory; it is a fact. In this way, compassion is like a boomerang.
To quote Jesus of Nazareth regarding this boomerang effect, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you." Whatever blocks your compassion is a blockage to your life's fullness of purpose and meaning. This means that as you become aware of what you have within you, and you put that out into the world, you will be less controlled by negativity around you. But access to these parts of yourself is not a given, or to be taken for granted. It has to be nurtured.
Nurture your compassion by using the evidence of your life to show all lives they belong. With compassion you can carry hope for others, until they can carry their own hope. In the process, you will see the physical evidence of compassion strengthening the security of your own emotions.
#6 – Nourish your mind with healthy chemicals to increase the power of your compassion.
Just as what you eat determines if you promote disease or health in your body, how you interpret and perceive others is how you feed your mind. If you feed your mind with fear, you will be afraid to connect openly, and you will be weakened by fear’s toxic chemicals (these chemicals produce anxiety). This blocks the strength of your compassion. But if you feed your mind with love, you free yourself of many toxins. Love strengthens your courage to open your heart, and to connect compassionately with the experiences of others.
You have the power to anchor yourself in love and joy. They are always within you. The more you are controlled by materialism, fear, or division, the less free you are to access experiences through the lens of love and compassion. Freedom to access love makes for joy in life!
Creating Compassionate Human Systems & Improving The Systems We Have🌐💖
10
Prerequisites,
Essential Ingredients,
& Outcomes
We can use the power of compassion to improve our world’s systems! Any system void of compassion will eventually become self-destructive. Because we create many of the systems we live within, we had better use compassion; otherwise we will end-up hurting ourselves. Compassion is a super power. It gives us the ability to access greater knowledge about individuals and collective groups, and it drives our motivation. If we embed compassion into the systems we build, we enrich all life. Thus, we can build systems that are beneficial for everyone.
The information in this section is important in building functional societies that protect us from being pulled into division, exclusion, frustration, and dysfunction. Compassion itself is not so much something we create, but a power we access. Sometimes we are motivated to seek the power compassion gives us. But, often we wait for compassion, as if it will just show up for us within our social systems. That is not how compassion works. We have to intentionally use and embed compassion into the structures of our systems, as we build and maintain them.
The amount of compassion’s power in our systems is up to us. Without compassion, our systems get bogged down and further the problems we are trying to solve. Using compassion, we can be compelled into new insights, innovative ideas, and the motivation to act – all in alignment with realistically possible solutions that are beneficial for all life.
In this section - 10 areas to understand, as we create systems to uplift all life with the power of Compassion:
#1 - What is compassion
#2 - Compassion (or the lack of it) is related to systemic function, dysfunction, and a ‘collective learning disability’ limiting us from learning to build better systems
#3 - The limits and potentials of compassion within human systems
#4 - Asserting the independent healing power of compassion into interdependent systems weakened by the ignorance of indifference
#5 - The powerful outcomes of compassionate systems (e.g., sustainability, trust, emotional security, physical and psychological health, freedom from fear and division)
#6 - Differences between natural and man-made systems
#7 - The difference between a moral sense and a moral system
#8 - Using compassion to upgrade collaboration and competition
#9 - What Nature teaches us about the systemic healing powers of compassion
#10 - The personal impact on you of world systems that are fertilized with compassion!
#1 - What is Compassion? The Dalai Lama describes compassion as, “a totally unbiased mind that wishes for the liberation of all sentient beings from suffering & cannot be mistaken for pity, which may have a connotation of superiority towards the object of compassion."
Compassion is different than empathy or pity.
*Empathy is, in part, the ability to understand the perspective of another. *Pity is emotional sorrow towards someone.
*Compassion means to feel with, or to feel together. It creates a motivation from the feelings experienced. Compassion allows us to see and feel into another’s experience. It motivates us to act in order relieve their pain, or embrace their joy, or both – depending on the situation. Some ingredients within compassion are honesty, respect, acceptance, and reverence.
#2 - We can create and evolve compassionate systems and systemic solutions to world problems. What has happened thus far, which I do not think is our full potential, is that man-made systems void of compassion have created a dysfunctional self-reinforcing feedback loop. This blinds the system from what it needs to learn in order to evolve. This results in a Collective Learning Disability. Martin Luther King said, “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on war than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” When a society does not learn as it grows, it marginalizes functional systems and promotes dysfunctional ones that break apart. When we try to fix these systems, without relying on the wisdom and honesty of compassion, we get stuck in a feedback loop of dysfunction – creating the same problems over and over. For example, societies and subcultures which are non-competitive & provide for every life within them, have become increasingly marginalized over time. Rather than see the interdependent collective well-being of these cultures as evidence of human potential, they are seen as dysfunctional by cultures who hold material wealth as evidence of functionality. We hold in high regard the cultures which tend to rely on financial and social power, a ruling class, and the myth that some lives are "less than" others. But keep in mind, the minute we see others as “less than”, we decrease our moral intelligence, thereby decreasing our ability to create human systems that benefit everyone.
#3- What is the limit to compassion existing in human systems? That depends on how we structure these systems. We live within both the organic systems found in nature, and our man-made inorganic systems. In Nature, organic systems are comprehensive. They consider all life, and they put no limits on compassion. Inorganic, man-made systems are invented by humans. Humans decide the level of compassion allowed. If the goals of a system exclude or disallow compassion, that system will be destructive. Systemic goals in opposition to the existence of compassion for all life are destructive to life.
Many destructive systems were set up under the pretense that says "compassion weakens systems". But compassion creates powerful systems because it is not limited by conditions, problems, or pain. Systemic pain, without compassion, eventually hits the brick wall of despair and helplessness. But pain, combined with compassion, leads to increased insight, innovation, and motivation. The causes of problems do not decrease compassion’s ability to motivate us towards innovative systems and solutions. These systems thrive because they respect and incorporate the interdependence of all life, no matter the conditions or problems.
Compassion gives us the wisdom and ability to release ourselves from destructive systems. Compassion is wise, showing us the roots of problems, and insights necessary for meaningful changes and solutions. We decide whether we limit compassion’s power in our systems, or not.
#4 – Compassion is not conditional or dependent on anything. It is an independent power that can be used to motivate the health of interdependent systems. Compassion does not exist conditional to factors of cause and consequence. Compassion already exists - it is waiting for us to immerse our motivations in it. However, if we think compassion is controlled by our sensory experiences, we lose its information and power. We then form systems which are blind to compassion and weakened by the suffering that these blind systems create in their members. When systems contain indifference, and lack a reverence for any life, further problems evolve. It may seem foolish to have compassion for people who are enveloped in the problems of this world (problems such as hatred, violence, or selfishness); and it may seem foolish to have compassion for other species. But, compassion for everyone is a key ingredient in creating systems that free us from greed and scarcity, and motivate us to evolve towards a collective well-being.
When what we see is painful, we must assert compassion and not passive indifference. Indifference creates weak and destructive systems. When systems are indifferent to the experiences of individuals, or hold the belief that anyone is “less than” another, this is a factor in systemic dysfunction coming to the surface to be seen and healed with compassion and love. Whatever obstacles are limiting this healing are located in unnecessary baggage we are carrying with us through time. Some of these unnecessary bags were handed down to us through many generations. Thankfully, this does not limit the compassion available to us. But until we get rid of the baggage, we limit our access to compassion. We have the power to let go of anything blocking our access. Compassion is a light destroying the darkness of indifference. It motivates us to create systems that are beneficial for all.
Buddha said,"All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?" This harm can be physical, emotional, mental, or anything that says one life is less than another.
It can be difficult to lay aside judgment and blame when constructing systemic solutions. But judgement and blame distract from compassion and block compassion. De-coupling solutions from any judgement or opposition towards a person or people allows freedom from less than sanctimonious righteous certainty. Anyone in someone else’s shoes would have all the roots that brought them to this moment. Instead of opposition, we need to assert compassion into our systemic structures.
#5 - Systems of compassion so powerful. Just as the amount of access to healthcare helps promote the level of health or disease in a community or country, access to compassion (determined by how we choose to interpret, perceive, and feel with others) determines the level of health in the attitudes we create our systems from. If we feed our systems with fear, we will create systems of disconnection. These systems weaken the lives within them because fear’s toxic chemicals produce anxiety and decrease compassion. If we feed our systems with love and compassion, we combine our minds, hearts, and abilities. Through this collaboration of perceptions and insights we learn to see the bigger picture. This frees us from fear-filled belief systems and strengthens our courage to connect - with compassion - to the experiences of others.
We cannot have security in a sustainable way if our systems are at the cost of another’s security. We all value security. It is a fact that the well-being of each life is interdependent with the collective well-being. This is not an idea or theory; it is a fact. In this way, compassion is like a boomerang. The more we put compassion into the world, the less we are hit or controlled by negativity around us. If we embed compassion into our cultures, it will upgrade our experiences. If we do not, we will destroy ourselves. Whatever blocks compassion from infiltrating our systems is a blockage to life's fullness of purpose and meaning. Compassion is not automatic. It cannot be taken for granted. Compassion a compass guiding us. We must pay attention to it.
As we expand the number of areas where we use compassion to decide systemic protocols, the territory of our wisdom, health, and joy will expand too. Compassion opens a doorway to see beyond what we thought were limits to systemic problem solving.
#6 - Because Nature’s systems are comprehensive and authored from beyond the human brain’s current intellectual abilities, humans are not able to replicate the complexity and the many layers of nature’s interdependent systems. We can try; and it is best we do. But, we have to remember that our 'try' is never fully complete.
In Nature, systems evolve from all life; and in turn, all life evolves from these systems. We humans are a part of Nature. Man-made systems are dependent on natural systems. When we understand the nature we are a part of, we have more accurate information about how to build inorganic systems. In Nature compassion is necessary for healthy human evolution. Compassion gives us an intelligence to see further than the individual life and past the limited human-centric orientation.
We must have epistemic humility, asking questions, and remaining uncertain of our answers. This means we must be realistic, admitting our human mind is not as intelligent or comprehensive as Nature is in creating systemic balance, solutions, and health for the collective. We must remain always uncertain of what we think we know.
Compassion gives us the wisdom to create systems which use natural resources; and do not dishonor or diminish natural resources. Compassion for the lives of other species prevents the greed that creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of scarcity, overuse, and abuse. Compassion motivates us to value the collective well-being of all life. But if we refuse to feel for the lives we touch, we make ourselves the weak link in nature; and this would lead to our demise. No life is able to survive alone. The more intertwined the roots of trees are with each other and with the land, the stronger the individual tree. Each life, including its love, is interwoven with all of life. This is true for every group, subgroup, and individual.
#7 – There is a difference between a moral sense and a moral system. A moral sense is comprehensive. A moral system is limited. Compassion, like love, is a moral sense. A moral system can be made FROM a moral sense; but it cannot BE the moral sense itself. Man-made moral systems are limited. Our moral sense must always be building our moral systems (our human systems). Even the best man-made social operating systems based on cooperation, collaboration, and mutual support, cannot be as comprehensive as morality itself. But, by using moral senses like compassion, we can strive to create moral systems. As we continue to evolve our systems, minds, ideas, and inventions, they must continue to be nourished with compassion. Otherwise, if our systemic evolution outpaces the moral evolution in our systems, we will destroy ourselves.
#8 - Competition with ourselves, to do our best, can evolve us. But competition against others divides our strengths, rather than collaborating and combining our physical, intellectual, and emotional assets. A divided collective mind can create collective learning disabilities. A divided collective mind demotes cooperation, fosters a lack of trust, and leads to existential risks.
We have to address our collective learning disability. We must realize survival of the human species depends on creating and maintaining communication and collaboration between groups, not just within groups. We must seek to collaborate with all forms of wisdom, including the wisdom of Nature we are rooted in and growing from.
#9 - Nature is the teacher for students who are ready and wanting to learn solutions to heal the collective learning disabilities we have created. Our goals must be to learn from Nature, and to implement its comprehensive systems; NOT to control or manipulate them. To quote Tom Shadyac, "There's one fundamental law that all of Nature obeys that mankind breaks everyday. Now this is a law that's evolved over billions of years and the law is this: nothing in Nature takes more than it needs. A redwood tree doesn't take all of the soil's nutrients, just what it needs to grow. A lion doesn't kill every gazelle, just one. We have a term for something in the body when it takes more than its share. We call it cancer."
Nature teaches us the healing ethics of compassion. This ethics encompasses all life, not just human life or mammal life. In Nature, it is in being with, and feeling compassion with life itself that humans heal. The experience of compassion is not limited in the ways we tend to think it is. For someone living alone in the woods, or on a mountain, or on the sea, they can still experience active compassion. When we think we humans are disconnected from the rest of Nature, our compassion makes us know we are COMPLETELY interconnected.
Nature teaches us the simplicity and complexity of mutual connections. Each life is having a unique experience within a physical body. Yet we also see that each of our experiences are totally connected - and not severed by having separate physical bodies. Everything we do, everything we are, impacts the environment. This is literal, and it is an important fact in the Natural world. We are born into bodies that are literally nourishment for other life. Another animal could eat a human, and the human body would nourish the other animal. Our human bodies are designed to nourish the soil of the land. We are born interconnected, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually with all of life. We are life, nourishing life.
We are responsible for the degree of compassion in our man-made systems. Is there a limit to this compassion? No! We are simply to tap into the fabric that all life grows its roots from and into! Nature guides us and shows us the enormous impact and power of our systems. There is an infinite full picture to see, and compassion helps us appreciate this more.
10 - What do systems fertilized with compassion create for the world? What impact can this have on you? To grow a secure world, we must make collective decisions that show all lives we ALL belong! We must fertilize our systems with compassion to bring hope, meeting each of us where we are and helping us each grow further. In this process, we will see the physical and emotional evidence of compassion’s benefits in our own lives.
Compassion increases your personal emotional security. The stronger your compassion is, the more you can sense security in our interdependency, in your wisdom, in asserting honest connections, and in your decision-making. You increase your emotional intelligence when you know what you do to any other life you do to yourself.
Be wise in personal and group decision making. Wisdom ALWAYS requires empathy, compassion, cooperation, collaboration, and reverence for all life. We have the power to anchor ourselves in love and joy. These are always within us. The more we are controlled by materialism, fear, or division, the less free we are to access and experience love and compassion. Freedom to access love is what makes for joy in life. When we tap into, and flow from compassion, we are free from emotional attachment and dependency on causes of problems and division. We are then secure to feel the pain of others. Their pain becomes as important as our own; but it does not take away any of our strength. In fact, it increases our motivation and strength. Also, the joy of others becomes as joyful to us as our own.
We must look at our lifestyles and habits clearly, so that we know what is nourishing joy, and what does not benefit life. How can we see ourselves objectively enough to do this? We have to be emotionally available to listen, with our hearts, to others’ hearts asking us to see the consequences of the systems we participate in. When we are open to compassion, we can be trusted because we have the motivation and courage to align our thoughts and behaviors with reverence, and to honor our deep interconnectedness with all life. Rather than being hungry for connection, we can be full of compassion and stay motivated.
