COMPASSION

Don’t ignore your instinct when it’s telling you that a friend, a family member, a loved one, someone you care about or even a complete stranger, is in trouble.  We all need to stop thinking that abuse is not our business just because it isn’t happening in our house.  
And we have to stop pretending that what happens to someone else doesn’t affect us.  It does.  We’re all connected, and it is our capacity for compassion that connects us.  

We all, at some time or another, need the help of another person.  The best way to receive compassion, is to give it, especially when your instinct is telling you that someone is in trouble.
