Compassion is concern for others—sincere concern for others’ well-being founded on awareness of our own experience. Since it makes us happy when others show us affection and offer us help, if we show others affection and readiness to help they too will feel joy.
Seems amazing to think that @DyingMatters Awareness Week was only 6 weeks ago. But the work to widen the national conversation about death, dying and bereavement continues all year round. Visit https://t.co/PuopkIdvEB and get involved #AreWeReady#DyingMatters
"I think in general it's some people find very difficult to talk about." The aim of @DyingMatters is to widen the national conversation about death, dying and bereavement, and make sure it's not a taboo subject. Its work goes on all year round: https://t.co/PuopkIv6w9
"Be the reason someone still believes in magic, truth, authenticity, compassion, intelligent conversation, loyalty, courage, and love that doesn't have an agenda." ~Brooke Hampton
Staying positive does not mean you have to be happy all the time. It means that you choose to believe better things are coming even on the hardest of days. ❤️
How we view human nature can mean the difference between living in a world filled with people who are perceived as hostile, violent and dangerous, or as essentially kind, helpful and gentle. A deep awareness of the essential goodness of human beings can give us courage and hope.
"I hope there are days when your coffee tastes like magic, your playlist makes you dance, strangers make you smile, and the night sky touches your soul. I hope there are days when you fall in love with being alive." ~Brooke Hampton
