Compassion for Others

The world is full of compassion even if we know it or not. It revolves around most of us and people usually take it for granted. Teachers give a huge amount of compassion to their students ever day in class. They try their best to feed us the information we need to know so we can be successful in the future. They want to help us in any way they can. This does not only teachers, but many people around us. Doctors, teachers, police, parents, relatives, etc. would usually all want to help us. Then why should we not have compassion as well? I have seen a lot of compassion that goes on in my work place. My coworkers help me regardless if I need the help or not. They step right in to get the job done without even being asked to help. After being helped and the job finished, I feel obliged to be compassion back to others. People should feel thankful and happy that others are willing to help them. So I like to give back to others for what someone else has done for me. I like to help people and be compassionate even if they have done nothing for me. I tend to be more compassionate and patient than with others so I always find myself in a situation where I find joy in helping people.

                There is a lot of cause and effect with compassion. Just like how I see compassion, where if someone is compassionate towards me, I feel a need to be compassionate as well. If this one concept of giving back to others after some good has been done for them, it would make a neighborhood and community a much better place. A video posted on youtube.com by Life Vest Inside in 2012 called “The Kindness Boomerang” shows a chain of people doing something nice for the next person after they have been helped from someone else. This five minute video shows and informs people to show some compassion to others anywhere in the world. It doesn’t matter of their race, ethnicity or gender. What matters is that something good is being done in this world. A series of events goes on and it puts a smile on every ones face in the end. If this could happen in our community or neighborhoods, then people would soon realize that there is a lot of goodness in every body. It all goes in a circle and this circle is infinite. Even if one doesn’t seem like they would have a lot of compassion in them, deep down in their heart, it’s there. Everybody is compassionate; some just have a harder time showing it than others.
