You define compassion as caring for other people. I would go a step further and say compassion is caring about all life. I would also say true compassion is radical and counter-cultural because it will ALWAYS require something of us; something that we have or are that matters a lot and which we don't necessarily desire to lay down in the name of compassion for others. And this is why I think we live in a world that is generally NOT compassionate and why Karen Armstrong's charter is so important. Great post. You define compassion as caring for other people.

I don't think writing about compassion is cheesy and touchy-feely. I think it is one of the ingredients to become a better mover in the community, a better parent, a better sibling, a better lover, a better entrepreneur, and of course, becoming a better person. Keep those posts coming! Hey, Tim. I don’t think writing about compassion is cheesy and touchy-feely.
