Compassion

Father Ramon Zarate says that the word "Compassion" comes from the prefix con, "with," and the root passion, "suffering".

I extrapolate that when we have compassion we are of the mindset that the others and ourselves have the Jesus in common.

The best friend that you should see in each other.

When you miss someone that has passed or that is absent in the environment, remember that there is a part of each of us in each other. We are of one body in Christ, and we feel that they a part of our heart, mind, and spirit, when we feel them and think of them in our consciousness. So we are never really without anyone else. 

That goes for everyone and everyone else, such that we should recognize that part of ourselves in the physical and spiritual humanity in each other, that existence we share together, of the same kind. And we should care for them in trying to help, where we can. And connect with that part in them so that they see themselves in us and feel the empathy to help us too.

Even evolution theory does not practice that competition among like kinds to be beneficial, as a rule. It's a matter of seeing living as not us or them getting the benefits of giving and of experience, but of us AND them getting those benefits from... love.

​Now you know the answer, but what about the question?
