When have you been overwhelmed with compassion?

Question

Or have overcome with pity? Were you transformed by that act of kindness? How?

Answer 1

Being compassionate may be one of the human characteristics. I have felt compassionate on very many ocassions. People are also suffering so much in the world.

There was this poor family who had a baby girl who developed a blister-like pimple on the thigh. The parents squeezed it thinking it was an access. The thing developed into a very big swelling which covered the front of the girl. She could not answer to the calls of nature. I really felt compassionate that I withdrew all my savings and gave them for medication.

Unfortunately the young lady passed on. I felt much grief and was overcome with sorrow. However I learnt life is too short and we are here for a season.

Yes. I agree. Being compassionate is human nature. Without that we can't say we are humans. We are interdependent on each other.

I was overwhelmed with compassion when I visited a home for elderly people. Seeing the elderly people in need of care and attention moved me deeply. I was overcome with pity, as I realized how much they had lost in terms of their health and physical abilities. This act of kindness transformed me in a profound way. It opened my eyes to the power of love, kindness and compassion. It also made me realize how something as simple as a kind word or gesture can make a huge difference in someone’s life.

One time I was helpfully Proverbial and offered advice on how to deal with a difficult situation. And another time I wasihilated by my own emotions and wanted to cry, but I judge not and are not enough.

Yes naturally humanity were born to have compassion over eachother, but the love for material things took over the love for one another. Today we read of various crimes, all due to the lack of compassion. We should return to the good old days when love and compassion was so strong.
