Compassion in action
We have been taught not to be judgemental of others, and for good reason; for we can never fully know the circumstances that may have led a person to his or her present situation.
Compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy for another who is stricken by suffering or misfortune, and is usually accompanied by strong desired to alleviate the person's pain or to remove its cause. In the fullest sense of the word, compassion is using our mental and psychic abilities to bring us to a realisation that what exists in the world is a complex mixture human experiences.
First type of compassion- move to alleviate the suffering of people within our social and cultural circle. At this level we are motivated to help the weak, children, the infirm and the aged.
The second level of compassion is conditional, it encompasses the suffering of those outside our own social and cultural circle. It incudes other different races but excludes the criminal.
Third level of compassion- is what can be referred to as pure compassion. This as we shall see, is the most difficult form of compassion to achieve for it demands complete, unconditional love for another human being. It is entirely uncontaminated by any unconscious feelings of fear and pierces the veil of of all appearances. For love to be real it has to be in action.
Compassion in action can be explained in that one word 'action', and action means service. There is different between service and just helping. Those being helped, could feel perhaps feel in an inferior position, feel in dept to repay help gotten. Service on the other hand , offers love to all parties. Includes empathy, service means doing something to the highest good, and it works for the soul. With service there are no strings attached, no greed, no social kudos, no guilt.
love is not something that is to be thought about , must be put in action, must be felt.
Compassion begins with us. If we are unkind to ourselve, we will be unkind to others, if we are negligent with ourselves, we will be the same with others. Only by feeling compassion for ourselves, can we feel compassion for others.

Learn how to give
Do you know that life is about giving and receiving. However, some people only take, and never give in return. All their lives, they've been receiving, but have never been challenged to give. A man could be physically alive in this world, but 'dead' because he's non-functional in his environment. That's because nobody benefits from his life; he merely exists to balance out the ecosystem. Life can be much more meaningful and exciting than that if we learn to give.
Christmas era; new year time, sala times, are time to give mostly. I don't mean that is only time to give. I just want to say that give, give your talents, give by service, give by information, give in kind or cash, When you think someone needs help.
A meaningful life is one that has significance in the lives of others. It's impacting your world positively with the gifts, endowments God has blessed you with.
Imagine a nurse who has to treat many sick people in one day; an opportunity for him or her to give other people's live a meaning by showing those patients extra love and care, this brings them hope.
An internet marketer, helping people by teaching them what newbies should know in internet is giving his talents. Making those newbies learn faster and happy.
Stop now read this-, Don't live as a 'grabber' or a taker; give other men's lives a meaning by giving. That's what counts. God will surly and must reward you for the good you did for others.
