Compassion Sustains the World

<h1>Compassion Sustains the World</h1>Author: <a title="Shen Gerald" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/shen-gerald/5232.htm">Shen Gerald</a> The following is my opinion about this thing call Compassion. It is not a definitive article though.
Compassion, in my view, is a very crucial element for sustainability. This is even more relevant to the current volatile world of ours.
The very fabric of the Universe is infused with compassion. It is the binding force that harmonizes and sustains Existence. It prevents the self-destruction and implosion of the universe. It is the allowance and acceptance of aspects of Source toward other aspects of itself. Without it, part of All That Is will harm Itself. 
Everything is a reflection of the Source and is the Source. The Source must love parts of Itself. This love serves to prevent the taking of advantage of others.
The universe and world at large cannot be sustained without compassion. The lack of compassion is the lack of the capacity to maintain ‘unity in separation.' Without Unity, harmony can only be maintained in an unstable manner. This is because without kindness and compassion, there can be no assurance from bullying, harming and or any other forms of advantage taking.
Without compassion we will not understand the suffering of others. Without this understanding, one can inflict hurt without conscience. Therefore a lack of compassion is a form of great ignorance. This great ignorance has produced much harm and suffering. War is often the direct result of a lack of compassion on the part of the perpetuators. Why do I say so? Because the perpetuator has traded the pain of others for some other kind of goals. Unless one is without compassion, one can see just how must suffering this can cause. Without compassion, we will be indifferent and not feel sad for the suffering of others
So, let's be compassionate and make the world a better place.
Thank you for reading.

To a More Compassionate World

By: Bhushan Manchanda | 14/11/2009
According to the Dalai Lama, “at every level of society—familial, tribal, national and international—the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.”

The Pursuit of Happiness

By: Bhushan Manchanda | 14/11/2009
The Pursuit of Happiness is an inward journey. Our minds are like programmes, awaiting the code that will determine behaviours; like bank vaults awaiting our deposits. If we regularly deposit positive, encouraging, and uplifting thoughts, if we shoot down the seemingly negative thought as these germinate, we will find that there is much to rejoice about….making our pursuit of happiness all the fulfilling,comforting and enduring.

People do not become millionaires by sitting on the couch and wishing. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and many sleepless nights.

Symbolism and Presence

By: Shen Gerald | 16/09/2006 | Religion
Our reality seems 'real' and solid, when we 'externalise' experiences. That is, we will feel in a certain way, when we have yet to realise/recognise the root/cause/source of the feeling and experience. They will continue to do so, as long as the experience is viewed 'externally'.
