For some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, we first of all have to have a wish to be happy ourselves – if we don’t love ourselves like that, how can we love others?
We are intelligent, we have seed of compassion from birth. Using reason and intelligence we can enhance our sense of compassion and come to understand how its opposite, anger, is harmful.
Once when I was going through a really bad break up my mom said to me “Don’t worry. You guys didn’t even get a dog together so it’s not that serious.” And that’s some of the realest shit I’ve ever heard.
