compassion

I see so much sadness here,everyone seems convinced that they will be alone in the next world,just as they walk alone in this one.We should sit up straight,eyes wide,and listen sometimes,Take the route that seems clear and reasonable,But we dont,We have that last drink,surf the last wave,stay the extra hour the extra week,year,you take another chance on something you dont even understand.
Compassion and empathy refocus our attention and consciousness outside ourselves, and the feeling of warmth and unconditional attention that we might give to others come back to us.
