I'll Put It To You

The Only Way To Learn Compassion Is Through Your Heart; You Have To Back Up And Pass Through Your Own Pain.

Animals Love. They Love Their Being. They Strive To Survive, To Celebrate, To Propagate . So Certainly Something We Learn From Animals Is Love. To Survive And To Celebrate, Propagate And To Love Life. To Be The Best We Can Be - The Right To Be Here And The Responsibility To Be The Best Dog Or Bear Or Horse That They Can Be. Humans Have The Tendency To Self Pity That Other Animals Don't Indulge In.

Compassion Is Not Pity ... Compassion Never Considers An Object As Weak Or Inferior. Compassion, One Might Say, Works From A Strength Born Of Awareness Of Shared Weakness, And Not From Someone Else's Weakness. And From The Awareness Of The Mutuality Of Us All. Thus To Put Down Another As In Pity Is To Put Down Oneself.

Today's Catholic Church Seems To Reward Authoritarian Personalities Who Are Clearly Ill, Violent, Sexually Obsessed And Unable To Remember The Past.

What Is Of Most Moment Of Compassion Is Not Feelings Of Pity But Feelings Of Togetherness.
