Compassion asks us to
go where it hurts, to enter into places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear,
confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in
misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears.
Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.

I came across this quote in
a newsletter from the Charter for Compassion. You can access the whole
newsletter here.
The newsletter includes links and many great
resources in areas of Education, Business, Healthcare, Spirituality,
Peace and Non-violence - and one that intrigued me -
I love the logo and the by-line: Survival of the Kindest!
