WHEN TESTED, MOST PEOPLE AREN’T COMPASSIONATE AT ALL
Most people claim to be compassionate, but that’s only true for when it’s easy for them to be a nice person. In the face of great pain or mistreatment by others, most people aren’t compassionate at all.
Treat others kindly, for you never know what they’re going through, or the mental state they’re in when you are in their presence. Treat them well when they treat you badly, or hurt you. Especially then. Because that’s when people need it most. Because in those moments, they have forgotten what love is and are empty of it. They lack the love they so desperately need to witness. But your cup must be so full of love and your light must be so strong that you never run out of it. This is true compassion in the face of suffering others cause you.
Most people claim to be compassionate, but that’s only true for when it’s easy for them to be a nice person. In the face of great pain or mistreatment by others, most people aren’t compassionate at all. They become full of egoic hurt and hatred, and seek to proliferate the pain they feel through retaliation or revenge. One true test of compassion is loving and forgiving every single person who hates and hurts you. This can be from small slights and misdeeds, to a lifetime of unconscious abuse. The unconscious behavior of others must be forgiven, because they truly “know not what they do”.
There are very few people who are strong and loving enough to break through generational cycles of unconscious pain. Most people just claim to know love and kindness, but they do not truly embody these values when they are tested.
YOU DON’T KNOW TRUE COMPASSION UNTIL.
You don’t know true compassion until you can die on the cross for humanity, instead of proliferating the pain humanity causes you. You don’t know true compassion until you can love someone and hold space for them in the light of your consciousness, right while they hurt you at the same time with their unhealed behavior.
You must be able to tell someone “I love you” with the peace of your presence and your loving actions even while they cause you great suffering. This is what it means to be a light.
SUFFERING MUST END WITH YOU
This is not to say that you tolerate abuse, but rather to show that your candle will not get blown out under any circumstance. You can always love people from a distance. The most important thing is that you do not proliferate generational cycles of unconscious pain and suffering. Being a light and leading by example means that your love is strong enough to let you say, “Suffering ends with me”.
And until you can do this for anyone, for every day of your life, with no exceptions for any person or situation, you have only heard of what true compassion is, but have no true Knowing of its levity and weight until you embody it with your whole heart and being.
Until you reach that point, don’t you dare call yourself compassionate.
AT YOUR SERVICE.
I used to say I was dying on the cross for humanity only as an analogy, but the more I encounter the unconscious suffering of those around me, the more I realize who I am meant to be. And it is in those moments that I realize what it means to be a light, and what it means to bring true love and deep compassion into a world where most people just tend to live in their own pain and proliferate it.
The definition of compassion actually runs even deeper than what I explain here, and only those who are spiritually aware enough will know of the depth of peace and oneness I speak of. At the time of writing this post, I am not at the level of compassion I speak of immediately, as forgiveness can take time when the pain caused is great, but I am much closer than the people I observe around me. It can be truly challenging to practice such a deep love in the face of unconscious suffering.
To know suffering and to let it teach you is to know “god”: not humanity’s typical definition of “god”, but rather, “god” as consciousness, which I discuss in a deep spiritual discourse here. As someone who is not religious in the typical sense (and who hates sounding preachy), I am normally against using the word “god” at all for reasons I cover in the post. However, the key aspects that I cover are critical to spiritual growth, so I decided to write about “god”. I encourage people to give it a read.
