Being compassionate

"Being compassionate not only changes the person we are compassionate to; it changes our concept of self and other perspectives."

Part of being compassionate involves realising and seeing that all beings are suffering and seek happiness.
When we truly realise that we are all the same, suffering in this cyclic existence, there would not be a need to compare and compete. And we would be inspired to aid other beings to reduce their sufferings. Why make others suffer more....

True compassion takes action to reduce suffering of all beings, be it in the little things that we do on a daily basis.
