Compassion is the deep understanding that we are all in this together. We are of the same Creative Source. And we are each learning at our own pace.
Choice is the vehicle for learning, and consequences are what ultimately bring wisdom. To judge one for choices that are made from a place of confusion or ignorance, is to judge ourself for the many times we have stood in those shoes, as well. If we are to love one another, we must extend compassion, for all of life on Earth is an experience of learning. If we judge others for their so-called mistakes, we must judge ourself in the same way.
Compassion is an expression of self love. As we extend a helping hand to someone who has stumbled, we are also forgiving ourself when we have done the same. Compassion does not flow from a mindset of someone who has all the answers, to another who is worthy of our pity, so to speak. True compassion is an understanding that we are all holding hands as we walk the Earth together. It is a most natural perspective as our soul perceives what is going on here.
Everything is love. That is all there is. Many do not see that or recognized that, but it does not change the truth of the Divine design. All that is called the Universe, flows from one source, one love, one creative essence, one true compassionate heart.
