I think of ...Hi Shug, Compassion is a big word... I think of it as meaning having pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.... I'm sure it's bigger than that... <br /><br />I think that it's okay to have concern ---but sometimes it's not up to us to provide action on these issues. Sometimes, prayers and simple things --such as cards or phone calls--sometimes are adequate... <br /><br />Sometimes, people try to do TOO much to 'fix' the situation... That may or may not be good for the person with the situation --or for the person being compassionate.. <br /><br />My thoughts are just to keep a healthy balance..<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856115860459514900.post-90847596278142453192012-05-21T20:43:45.616-05:002012-05-21T20:43:45.616-05:00You my friend are compassionate.
