13 Compassion RayQuotes

Compassion is among the most selfless emotions human beings are capable of. Yet, it’s more than a feeling. It’s something we can put into action in our lives and in the world. It’s the concept that reminds us that, despite our many differences, we are all together here in the same situation. We’re having this challenging human experience on a tiny blue marble spinning around in a vast dark universe.

It manifests in kindness, selflessness, empathy. It changes relationships and it changes the world. Equally importantly, compassion begins with yourself. Having compassion for yourself makes it that much easier to have it for others.

Maybe, just maybe, we can treat each other like tight-knit kin we truly are.

By now you know, that I love coining quotes on topics. I call them Rayquotes. Here are my best 13 on the topic of compassion.
