Compassion means the sympathetic concern one has for the suffering or misfortunes of others. In addition, one must have the desire or the wish to see others free from the suffering.
🙋♂️🤔 เอ๊ะ..งงดีอ่ะ แน่ใจเหรอที่พูดออกมาน่ะ 🤔
Hmm...Slightly confused here! Are you sure about this definition?
I think the meanings of compassion you have just defined might make us feeling unhappy, instead of finding us a true happiness as your title say. This is because 1) getting involved with others’ problem might entangle us with the situation and 2) the desire to free them from the suffering even makes us experiencing an internal struggle even more as we want to help those people but don’t know how and when. Am I right?
Having learned to develop the compassion for others, in the future when we are suffering from something or from the mistake we made, we then could use the same development of genuine, truthful feeling of compassion, we once offered to others, to offer to ourselves. Surely, if we can understand others’ suffering, I am sure we can understand our suffering. Why not?
Secondly, when we learn to have compassion for others, we are not going to judge them based on our standard. This is because we don’t really know or thoroughly understand their life situations. Perhaps, what we think is really small issue could be a big thing for them.
After that, when we are not judging ourselves, we will understand the cause of our suffering thoroughly. Then, we will learn to forgive ourselves from the mistakes (that cause us suffering).
Eventually, when we learn not to judge ourselves and learn to forgive ourselves, we will look at the real causes of our sufferings and hopefully we can find the solutions. If we try to change,we will finally get rid of the suffering. Hence, no suffering means real happiness. Get it?
Yeah, I kind of get it. 😊 Now, I can see why people say suffering is here to teach us a life lesson. Suffering comes into our life in order to guide us to walk on the intelligent life path; help us learn to (consciously) analyse the problems from life situation and find the solution at the end.
Definitely. There are always two sides of the coin. For those who ‘give an inch and s/he will take a yard/mile’, we must be very careful how we can offer our compassion to them. We need to draw the ‘limit’ line with them; let them know that how much compassion we can offer, and they must not cross the line.
Precisely, I am not saying it’s easy. However, we need to learn to develop the concept of ‘the middle ground or the balance’ between our compassion to ourselves and to others.
Absolutely no idea! I haven’t read any study or research on this part yet. Personally, I believe it is learned (I might be partly wrong). Learned as we might be taught by our ancestors, grandparents or parents or we also learn to cultivate compassion by ourselves. I have read many articles about how to cultivate compassion. Are you interested to know about them?
