Reminders For Amber #5 - Be Compassionate

The Dalai Lama has been quoted to say that, "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.  Without them, humanity will not survive."  Always show compassion for others.  Treat people the way you want to be treated.  Practice the golden rule of "doing unto others, what you would want others to do unto you."

Wish everyone well and help those who are not, in whatever way you can, be it small or great.  No matter how hard or bitter life becomes, find the means to always be kind.  Simple acts of listening, caring or simply just being there for someone can make a huge difference in their lives, and also in yours.

Know that compassion and tolerance are not signs of weakness but of great strength.  Having a soft heart in a hard world means you are braver than most, indeed courageous.
