Compassion
is a core value in almost all major religions. Regardless of whether we’re
atheists or believers, a commitment to human decency and compassion is critical
to our survival as a species. And what do we mean by ‘humanity’ anyway? It’s
just you and me! Please share your views on compassion. Is it possible to be
spiritual without being kind? Does sincere scholarship, a faithful following of
rituals, a conscientious reading of scriptures make compassion redundant? I
don’t think so! To quote Rumi: “With life as short as a half taken breath,
don’t plant anything but love.”
Rumi has a word of advice:
"In generosity and helping others, be like the river,
In compassion and grace be like the sun."
