"Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace." Albert Schweitzer The most potent and detrimental illusion we face is that we can grasp happiness greedily for ourselves. We fail to see truth hidden behind this shroud of opulence.

We depend on each other and all creatures for the basics like shelter, food, wa...

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation." Henry Ward Beecher  It is no wonder that our quick-fix, fast-food society elevates condemnation over compassion.

On the other hand, compassion requires some humility, tolerance, and patience in the moment. Yet, compassion builds healing, trust, and connection in the long...
