When we give and receive empathy, transformation occurs.

When you learn to feel the pain of an ant, you will truly learn to love this world.

If I had an ear 2 confide inI would cry among my treasured friendsBut who do u know that stops that longto help another carry onThe world moves fast and it would rather pass u bythan 2 stop and c what makes u cry.

A person imbued with compassion and self-understanding can readily love oneself and exhibit endless sympathy for all people. A person who is unkind to their self can never transcend their corrupt barriers much less run into the world with open arms enthusiastically embracing humankind and all of nature with uninhibited friendliness and goodwill.

Empathy allows us to enter the world of another. It allows us to take a mental vacation from ourselves.

I know they were mean to me and to you, but helping them now is the right thing to do.

When you feel that others are lacking and failing ....First assess the skill, style, quality, results, mindset, support, professionalism and spirit with which you yourself play the game.

Before hurting anyone, especially those who cannot protect themselves, feel their pain with your heart. Take care of them as your little child.

It is up to each one of us to immunize ourselves from any disabling bolts of anger and defend ourselves from the thunderstorms of hatred. No matter how maliciously anyone might act towards us, humankinds’ ability to express empathy, compassion, and mercy is the only life-sustaining panacea. Whenever we foster empathy and compassion and display mercy towards other people, we overcome the vilest actions and greatest atrocities committed by other persons. If we love everyone, we can never feel victimized or hate anyone. If we love ourselves, we will never act in a degrading manner.

We can only come to terms with our own place in the world by compassionately commiserating with the pang of longing that our brethren experience.
