@chrismccron beautiful post! My spiritual learning lesson has been that compassion is necessary to not lose touch with our fellow Brothers and Sisters, as we are all One Light expressing itself in endless ways. Otherwise we may get somewhat aloof . When we don't have compassion for others than this means that it is exactly here where we are still separated internally from Oneness. But naturally, this Compassion is not to say that we take away other Souls' learning lessons. So when a Soul has a certain experience we show empathy but at the same time we accept that this experience poses this learning lesson that helps the soul tremendously to grow and create more innere peace in the long-term. :)
