John Kaldawi opinions about Compassion

John Kaldawi was inspired by the virtues of Compassion which is the complete flowering of true love in human beings. Love is our intrinsic quality, we are born with it, it is just a matter of being aware of it. Awareness makes our love stronger and makes it a virtue and brings out the Compassion within us.

Doing more research, John learned that Compassion is the ability to identify and understand the emotional state of another person. It has the element of reducing the suffering of another associated with the feeling to help. If someone try to hurt us, instead of having negative feeling towards them, we assume instead that they had a good reason for doing what they did given their particular circumstances.

John Kaldawi also learned that Compassion is a process of connecting by identifying and feeling one with another person. This identification with others through compassion can lead to increased motivation to do something in an effort to relieve the suffering of others. In Hindu tradition, Daya (compassion) is treating a stranger, a relative, a friend and a foe as one's own self. It is the state when one sees all living beings as part of one's own self, and when everyone's suffering is seen as one's own suffering, is considered as a noble virtue. Compassion if the basis for "ahimsa", a core virtue in Hindu philosophy.
