should we have compassion why or why not?

We need compassion because life is hard. Compassion means a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. This may be painful, and complicated, but when we develop a basic orientation to be helpful, supportive, kind and accepting towards ourselves we may be able to deal with, and more importantly, tolerate, our stress better, and have more control over the direction of our behavior and our lives. I know we have the ability to think before we act, and this is very essential because make decision about how we want our minds to be developed. If we just do things without any reason than we will become wealthy. But knowing things gives us the option to learn about our importance of life. For me compassion it is so big and important and I would just love to see more compassion in the world and I know it is hard sometimes to give compassion to each other, especially in certain situations when we feel like others don’t deserve our compassion. Sometimes when a person hurts you is because they are hurt. When someone is hurt and not loved is because they are lack of compassion, you can’t heal an absence with holding. Hurtful behavior comes from a lack of compassion, love for the self and therefore needs compassion and love in order to heal.
