And guess what? Most of your ancestors were farmers.

What it means to be compassionate is to be bold, and be brave and to actually step into—and shoulder—the burden with another person.

There's this powerful, magical thing that happens when we engage in the spiritual activity of trying to share another's suffering.

My compassion doesn't have to be perfect, my compassion has to be intentional, it has to be genuine.

Compassion is always a choice, it is always amongst a set of options that we have in any situation.
