I do not need to feel another’s suffering to know it and be of help to them. Taking it on can be debilitating.
However, I want to feel for their suffering and wish to do what I may to alleviate it.
The weight of the world on my shoulders is, to say the least, infinitely overwhelming!
But with compassion, I can have the power and clarity to try and do my part to help lessen suffering.
What can I do to help? What is my part?
