    I've never considered compassion that way. I love your thoughts, and yes, you are so absolutely right about it. Joanna Foreman

    This thought reminded me of a study that was done to "measure compassion" in people. Apparently, if you tend to yawn symathetically when you see someone else yawn, it is an indication of compassion. The sooner you yawn, the more compassionate you are deemed to be.

    But I think you are more accurate: kindness is a far better gauge. Have a great day!

    My very favourite word is 'lovingkindness'. I think your quote says the same thing. Thank you for visiting my blog.

    A lovely thought.

    I like the quote. Kind of reminds me of what I used to say about love before my heart broke one too many times.

    "Passion is the dance that will soon be over; but, love is the journey to grow older."
