Life sometimes reminds us that it is sometimes heartless by giving something or someone we really need to someone who does not need or even want them or it.

A truly compassionate man gives a poor woman a portion of his meal before he eats, not after he has eaten.

Some of the people we feel sorry for feel sorry for us for thinking that they are the ones who should be felt sorry for.

We often worsen someone’s pain by pitying them openly.

We sometimes show lack of compassion by not giving a fat person a lift. Or by giving them one.
