Compassion - Missing the Better Half

Compassion - The emotion in that deep corner of our heart for the suffering and pain of others along with the desire to help.

I see an accident & I pass by,

FEARING I would be late,

FEARING I would be in trouble!

I see an animal in trouble & I close my eyes,

FEARING my hands would get dirty,

FEARING I would lose my precious time,

FEARING I might be laughed upon!

I witness a crime & I keep mum,

FEARING it's none of my business,

FEARING I might get trapped too,

FEARING there is no use!

I hear my hear and ignore the echo,

FEARING I might not succeed!

FEARING I would be looked down!

FEARING I would seem foolish!

FEARING my biggest fear - BEING COMPASSIONATE

It's very disheartening but true that all of us at some point or other interpret only the half meaning of COMPASSION. The second and better half - 'The desire to help' unfortunately remains just a desire and is rarely converted into 'The Act'.

Following our Compassion is the biggest fear we can ever have!
