Giving is living

 

Giving is living 

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.

Help others without any reason and give Without the expectation of receiving anything in return. You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. We make a living by what we get.

Compassion asks us to go where it hurts, to enter into the places of pain, to share in brokenness, fear, confusion, and anguish. Compassion challenges us to cry out with those in misery, to mourn with those who are lonely, to weep with those in tears. Compassion requires us to be weak with the weak, vulnerable with the vulnerable, and powerless with the powerless. Compassion means full immersion in the condition of being human.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

Look around you. Who or what is suffering? What needs to change? Where can you make a difference?

Compassionate action right where you are, is how we change the world.

And, never forget this: Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Always be kind...
