Compassion is so important, even more important than recognizing yours and someone else’s mistakes. Compassion is learning how to say sorry, but also, learning how to forgive and adopt a mature perspective. It involves stop saying: but you did this, but you did that, but you made a, b or c. Compassion is just accepting that we are so different that being exactly the same would be boring as hell. It is also understanding that we all have responsibility; that perhaps, we didn’t do enough, or perhaps we did too much.
Compassion is receiving the angels on our window, enjoying their peace and believing that our actions were just the best we could make under those circumstances. It is accepting ‘that’ only answer which we found at ‘that’ current moment. Perhaps, we were just no ready to be better, or perhaps, we just couldn’t be better because we were suffering or were fighting against some demons.
Compassion is being honest with ourselves and with the rest because, it doesn’t make any sense to play games and hurt others again, just because we are hurt. Compassion means respecting yourself, respecting others and stop being a fake victim. It means confronting reality and stop escaping from that future that you didn’t want to see, to recover dignity. Compassion means finding solutions, instead of just problems and problems and problems…
We shouldn’t forget about compassion. It is right there in front of your eyes, we just need to decide to grab it with our hearts and hold on to it.
“Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but making the darkness conscious”
Carl Gustav Jung
