Posted in just my thoughts
|
Sorry I have been gone so long. I guess I have just been feeling better, and so have been keeping a little busier around the house. Trying to get it in order for company on the 25th. Well, I thought I had some rambling thoughts to blog...however, I guess the mood must have left me. You know how you have these deep, thoughtful moments, and then later you are all thought out, and can't remember what it was you were thinking about in the first place? That'd be me. I guess part of my rambling thoughts stemmed from a conversation I had with one of my good friends today about compassion. She questioned if she had it or not, or said she guessed she wasn't very compassionate. It got me to thinking. (uh-oh) I feel like for myself, I just come by it naturally. I did not do anything to cultivate it. Not saying that in a bragging sort of way, because there are times when I wish I did not feel the way I did. It makes it hard for me to say no. Not only that, but I find my self volunteering for (some) things without even being asked. I can't help it, I truly care about others suffering. Sometimes, I try NOT to care, but it just doesn't work. So, what is your opinions, dear readers? Do you think it is something we are born with, something we learn, or something we have to work at cultivating? Can you "prioritize" your compassion? Are there "degrees" of your compassion, based on someone else's need or suffering? Okay, on to other things..... We are having a family reunion tomorrow, and Sunday is looking to be busy, too, but I still have a lot I want to get done.
Thanks for reading! blessings~Lynn |
