The Opera Populaire

Oops I think Blogger just switched entirely to Google. I'm taking time to navigate and feel my way around this new layout. Anyway: Compassion means taking out that fullness that would otherwise be filled with “me-ness” inside you and filling it with actions for the betterment of others. Compassion means forgetting briefly the cares and anger that you are going through and giving someone else the love and attention, deserved or not. Waiter or superior matters not. Compassion means not depriving someone else of the companionship he could not get elsewhere. Does compassion also mean telling someone the hard truth about why people react in a certain way towards him? Does compassion mean forgetting past hurts and learning to trust again? I’m apt to think the two may be mutually exclusive, but I think I may have made a philosophical error somewhere heh.
