RE: A WORD on Compassion, Love, Sympathy, and Empathy.
Thank you for sharing, I see people commit what may be great, helpful deeds but show a lack of humbleness and I am definitely not excluded from that list. Sometimes people follow what they know is a righteous or goodly path but for ego-based reasons. I started exercising out of defiance of a girl rejecting me. lol. Over time I let go of that negativity and spite, but continued the activity that is beneficial for myself. It is hard to realize that even good deeds can be ego-based. I agree with your sentiment with helping one unfortunate person at least once a month, even talking to someone that seems lonely at a restaurant can spark kindness and compassion. It is a beautiful way to change the world.
