Sensitivity

Compassion - works. It works for us in allowing us to perceive the pain, anguish, affliction, agony, torment and distress of others clearly, through allowing it into our experience. It is then something that has moved further out of the realm of the ignored or the unconscious into the realm of the included, the accepted, the conscious.

Compassion is spacious, allowing the way things are to exist, to change, and to end. Particularly it allows pain to end. It is the active side of wisdom.Compassion allows us to realise that there is still something that can be done by a fully enlightened being.
