Compassion?

So compassion is a wonderful “motive” and by this I mean that it is an active intended activity. We are all born of Genes that we had no influence or input over. We all grew up into families and environments we also had no influence over as children and young adults but now as adults we do have a choice about how we respond to events. Our habits and natural responses are well practiced, ingrained and instinctive by now and these are often responses from those genetic and attachment based influences but with a little (well to be honest a great deal of compassion and conscious practice) we can choose to respond differently as we hope. We can be compassionate to our natural self, the way we find things difficult, we can be actively compassionate when we fuck up again, can’t get out to a party, or are being a Dick because this would be the path to changing things, being able to go to a party and not being such a Dick, it takes practice and more practice until it becomes your practice, it takes "commitment" but with time things can and will change.

We chose to talk about things in the hope that just one person decides to talk about things that trouble them too and then we have been a positive influence as we all can be in small and seemingly insignificant acts. (DB)
