The Greatest Teachers of Compassion

Before you pass that homeless woman on the street, feeling so uncomfortable that you turn your head away and hurry by her... Stop.
Dig deep into your heart and soul.


Neither you nor I have walked in her shoes. We do not know her life story, the pains she has suffered is suffering from now.
We do not know why she is forced to face the humiliation of begging strangers on the street for change, covered in dirt, torn clothing.


No young child ever said to their parents: "I want to beg for my dinner when I grow up."


They want to fly planes, sail ships, be nurses, have adventures.


But, the world we live in is not that fair, no matter what we say to our children. As they grow, their hearts will break, and they will learn differently. Just as ours did when we learned that life is not fair.


The future of the human race is going to require much courage, brother hood, and compassion.


It is much easier to divert our eyes and rush by.
To say: "She is lazy."


"Get a job."


"She will just drink it all away."


"She needs to learn to do better, try harder"


But, are we not the ones who need to learn?


All the people in Japan suffering incredible loss, sorrow, and pain.
All the people without clean drinking water in Kenya.
All those in need of food and shelter in our own Country.
The list goes on and on.


We know that every day, on our planet there is starvation, war, and suffering. Becuase of the advanced technology we have now, we know it more than ever before.


Have these souls incarnated to teach us the courage, and the compassion it will take to to change the world? To teach us the meaning of brotherhood?


Have they chosen a life of suffering to be our greatest teachers?


Are they the great teachers, and we…


Only the humble students?




Before you turn your head away, closing off your heart to hurry by her, ask yourself: "Is there any other answer to all this suffering than more courage and kindness...in our streets, our neighborhoods, across the globe?


Is there any other answer than you and I?
Just one small act of kindness can change a persons life.


There is one thing about the human race I am sure about.
We need each other.


Just as you and I need kindness, compassion, and a helping hand….so do our brothers and sisters.


If we save each other, we can save the world.
