the most beautiful example of compassion i have ever witnessed was watching a big man step between a person being attacked and taking blows intended for another……the aggressor realized he could not hurt the man and walked away………..the man who stepped between made no attempt to hurt the attacker….he merely put his huge arm to thwart the blows……………….it was beautiful……………..the attacker walked away bewildered and ashamed…………

power…………….to rethink power………………power is being in control of your emotions………….not others…..

to maintain balance in the heat of an intense situation is a characteristic of a spiritually well grounded person….

a man hears a horn blow and a car slams on brakes……..followed by a weak yelp……..rushing outside he finds His dog in front of a car and the driver is crying hysterically…………..he looks over the animal and sees the injuries are fatal he walks over to the girl and tells her it’s not her fault and she should leave and she gets in her car and slowly drives away……..he goes back in the house and returns with a pistol he hasn’t fired in years………….he strokes the animal head and whispers ”i love you Max”……and fires………..because he cannot bear to see a dear friend suffer…………..

even compassion can be brutal……
