First of all, let's see the definition of this word before talking about it in detail.
Compassion is simply a feeling of pity that we feel when faced with the misfortunes of others. Compassion is therefore defined as a feeling of deep sympathy for another person stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.

We feel compassion for someone. We are moved and touched. In Latin, the word compassio means to suffer with.

Why am I going to praise a word which, at first, has nothing sympathetic about it?
Perhaps out of respect for the person who suffers from it. And I will try to find a way to make this word acceptable if not pleasant.
We have here a kind gesture that can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.

I read somewhere that Dalai Lama wrote that compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength, that there is nobility in compassion, beauty in empathy, grace in forgiveness.
Isn't compassion about giving all the love we have?

This same Dalai Lama adds that if you want to be happy, practice compassion. We can even deduce that as long as you don't have real compassion, you can't recognize love. I could add that we must use our voice for kindness, our ears for compassion, our hands for charity, our mind for truth and our heart for love.

I am combining love and compassion, making them natural necessities because without them, I fear that humanity cannot survive.
An Amish proverb has just found its place in saying, "Instead of putting others in their place, put yourself in their place".

Only when we understand that this is the most cherished quality we possess will we succeed in saving our humanity. So let's think about it.

I just now stopped writing and asked the first person to pass me by:ˆCan you tell me what compassion is?'
The answer was immediate: Compassion is love. I will say 'the greatest form of love.

She was so right, this person who knows that it is a lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion for others. If we become friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.

Not bad said all that and I will respect Einstein for suggesting that I have compassion and a willingness to help others." I think I was mistaken, I got the two Albert's confused. This word is Albert Schweitzer's. So I understand that compassion is looking beyond one's own pain to see the pain of others
