Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else’s skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
Quote by Frederick Buechner
REFLECTION:
- Do you have the capacity to feel what it is like to live inside someone else’s skin?
- For many, that is too painful and they choose not to go there. Yet, the truth is we truly can’t have peace in ourselves until there is peace in others.
- We are our brother and sister’s keeper.. How can you be more compassionate today or in the days ahead to someone less fortunate than you?
