Compassion....A must have Quality
Compassion can be easily explained as
empathy. We all must possess this invaluable quality in order to become a
better human & also for a better society. When we are talking on how to
develop the feeling of compassion in our conscious, we must first acknowledge
its need. Having sympathetic approach towards others is not at all a favor to
others. You should always remember that what goes around comes around. This is
the fundamental rule of the universe.
Don’t Like a Bully Then Don’t Be One
None of us like to be an object of another’s
person’s amusement. Facing bullying is a bitter reality of life. Especially in
schools & colleges, this phenomena prevails on a grand scale. We don’t like
when someone is making fun of our accent, appearance or any other aspect of our
personality. Just like that we should consciously stay away from making
negative or loose remarks for others. I would suggest one step further &
you should actually stand with the person openly who is being bullied.
We all fall for this trap in the name of
light humor. Try to stay away from people who keep finding flaws in others
& keep putting them down. But at the same time show compassion to the bully
as well & keep telling him/her that he/she is doing wrong.
Be a Volunteer
The best way to learn compassion is by
actively volunteering in helping others. You will find ample amount of
opportunities in your own surrounding. Plenty of people are struggling in their
life for several things. In case you notice a classmate in your school that is
not able to manage grades in one subject, offer help in understanding the same.
For obvious reasons you will get better opportunity of learning the subject but
in a greater sense the classmate will also feel relieved. Get yourself
associated with the group which goes to meet elders in old-age homes or elderly
care centers. You will realize how satisfying it is to give that precious smile
to an old man.
Compassion: A
Necessity beyond Explanation
We all should always remember one thing that
creating a better society is in our hands. Our one act of kindness will
certainly inspire five more people & the reach of it will be wider than we
can imagine. The world has all the luxuries & material comforts. Now the only
requirement is giving it a more compassionate & kind culture which is in
our hands.
