Compassion relates to the ability to see yourself in the position of another, to feel what they feel and to offer tender support, empathy, and understand- ing for what the indivi- dual may be experiencing without seeing them as weak.

Compassion does not strip a person of their dignity, nor does it deny them the dignity of their
process.

Compassion allows you to stand with a person, holding the vision of their
wholeness regardless of the situation or circum-stances they may face.

Love that, Mel!

Hmmmm....I've noticed that compassion can't do any of that unless there is a place where it has first been experienced. Spoken by one who once had none.
Yeah...things change.
