Compassion

Wow I guess today is the day I write about my mind huh... :p

I was dozing off watching Food Network HD (muahahaha) and I saw this compassion ad. It said "If you can't do it all, do all you can".

Which is very true. Back in a previous post, I mentioned about caring and that I do what I can to help others.

Compassion, to me, is an extension of empathy (Empathy = knowing how another feels - a.k.a putting yourself in other's shoes). It's knowing the state of someone else and reaching out to help out in whatever way you can for the sole purpose of betterment (stop/reduce pain/suffering). Very similar to altruism.

But the ad just caught me off guard. Such simple small things can always benefit everyone in big ways.
