Do you go the extra mile for others?
Compassion means caring about the
needs of others. Just feeling sorry for someone else is only part of compassion.
Having compassion means that you are also willing to help others by taking action. True
Martial Artists are compassionate and will put others’ needs before their own interests.
Are you a
compassionate person?
Let’s review the
following questions to find out if you are:
1. Do you donate your money when
others need it?
2. Do you donate your time when
others need it?
3. Do you talk to others when they
are lonely?
4. Do you stand up for others who
cannot stand up for themselves?
5. Do you give up your chair to
someone standing when there are none left?
6. Do you put others’ feelings before
your own?
7. Do you let others go before you
when waiting in line?
8. Do you go the extra mile for
others even when you are not expected to?
9. Would you save someone if he or
she was in danger?
If you answered yes to these
questions, then you are a compassionate person. Compassionate
people go the extra mile even when
not expected to do so. People who
show generosity through kind gestures
when no one is looking are extremely compassionate.
The best part about being a
compassionate person is the feeling that one
experiences as a result of the
unselfish actions.
There are many ways that you can be
compassionate that are fun. You can bake
cookies for a sick friend. You can
draw a picture for an elderly person to brighten his
or her day. Another fun way to show
compassion is to invite a new person at your
school or work to your home for a
social gathering. There are endless possibilities of
ways to show compassion.
Keep in mind you do not need to have
a lot of money or to donate a lot of time in
order to show your compassion. Simply
sharing a smile with someone else and avoiding
negative conversations about others
when they are not around are ways to show
that you care about others’ feelings.
If you want others to have compassion towards
you, the best place to start is by
showing compassion for others. If everyone would
show more compassion each day then
this world would be an even better place in
which to live.
