How Do You Show Compassion?

I believe that the main purpose in our lives is to experience joy and love, while helping others to do the same. From the second we are born we strive for true joy and naturally try to avoid any pain or suffering. This leads me to conclude that it is vital to figure out what brings the highest level of happiness into our lives.

In a recent article written by the Dalai Llama, he stated that the greatest level of happiness is derived from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the well being of others, the greater our own sense of well being grows. The mind is put at ease and we are much better able to deal with anything that is thrown our way. The need for love in our lives comes from some of the most basic foundations of human existence. Compassionate living also does wonders for self esteem improvement as well as Awakening spirituality.

Compassion in its truest form is not merely an emotional response, but it is a concerted commitment that is founded on reason. That being said, a true compassionate attitude towards others does not alter even if their behavior is negative. It takes a strong spiritual consciousness to look past negative or lack attitudes from others.

The key to a happier planet is entrenched in compassion and love. Our very conscious evolution depends on it.

So today, how can you show compassion?
