Human Compassion

Human compassion relates to the way we whole heartedly think about others and the action we take when need arises of helping those in need.

The following are ways of expressing human compassion to others

Being considerate to others

Respect the people around you and avoid making a nuisance of yourself. Make others feel comfortable and respected in your world. Be concerned for the welfare of others.

Be concerned about the lives of other people

Princes Diana of Wales was deeply touched when she visited the victims of land mines and campaigned strongly to ban land mines.

“The world is too little aware of the waste of life, limb and land which anti-personnel landmines are causing among some of the poorest people on earth.” – Diana, Princess of Wales

Be more generous

Being generous with your resources and time at your disposal when it comes to caring for other people

Do favors for people

Spend time doing favors for people and helping them out when they need it.

Share

Share whatever you have with other people in need.

“God has given us two hands – one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.” Billy Graham

“Whatever we possess becomes of double value when we have the opportunity of sharing it with others.” Jean-Nicolas Bouilly
