Compassion benefits giver and receiver.

Compassion is recognizing the strength, the light of another, and allowing yourself to be drawn into that light. That’s what compassion does. With compassion you are drawn in. You are drawn in with intention, and you are drawn in through love. True compassion is never a duty. When you are truly compassionate, you are renewed and strengthened in the exercising of compassion. It is never a negative response. The interesting point of compassion is that all benefit, the individual offering it and the individual receiving. Compassion unites. Love unites. Light spreads forth. Warmth always moves outward away from the source.
